- Online shopping security
|
While purchasing online, look for signs that these are secure (SSL secured sites or 128 bit encryption) like shopping.rediff.com. At the point when you are providing your payment information, a golden-coloured lock appears (for SSL secured sites) on the right hand side corner of the browser or the beginning of the Web site address should change from http to https, indicating that the information is being encrypted ie turned into code that can only be read by the seller.
- Your browser may also signal that the information is secure with a symbol, such as a broken key that becomes whole or a padlock that closes.
- Carefully use credit-cards and online banking for online shopping. Check your credit card and bank statements at regular intervals. Notify the bank immediately if there are unauthorised charges or debits. Avoid using credit card details and online banking on public computers and in cyber cafes. It is very unsafe because most of them are infected with viruses, trojans and key loggers.
- Some banks have launched their services like Net Safe to create temporary credit cards with a limited value to transact online. Paypal is also a secure way to do the transactions .This way, in the worst case scenario you can minimise the impact.
