Posted on April 4, 2009 at 1:54 am These are some security measures should be taken when you sign up for online banking :--- Pick a password that's hard to guess, then change it regularly. Combine letters, numbers or other characters instead of just using a word in the dictionary. Never use something like your birth date, which someone could figure out. And don't use the same password for all your accounts. -- Be suspicious of any e-mail that asks for your user name and password. The biggest trend in online fraud right now -- phishing -- involves criminals sending out e-mails pretending to be from banks, asking customers to log in with user names and passwords. -- Use basic computer security programs like antivirus software, anti- spyware software and firewalls. If you don't, you're at risk of hackers sneaking a Trojan horse program onto your computer that could record your passwords. Also, install the latest updates to your operating system. -- Use a newer browser. If you've been using the same Internet browser since before 2000, you need to upgrade it before you bank online. Browsers such as Netscape Navigator 7.0 or higher, Microsoft's Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher, or AOL 8.0 or higher support the strong, 128-bit encryption technology now standard in online banking. -- Review your statements carefully on a regular basis to look for unauthorized transactions.Hope It will Help You

Posted on April 4, 2009 at 3:31 pm I agree with this as well. Changing the password is oneway to deter theifs. Also I want to say when making money online and using paypal as a way to get paid to not respond to any emails that might look fishy. I have been getting emails from sites that are saying they are paypal and I know it was a fraud. I wanted to add this and thanks for the great info! :)

Posted on April 4, 2009 at 7:39 pm this piece of info will be pretty helpful to me in reminding me the dos and don'ts of online transactions. thanks.i would like to add that when typing passwords .. windows users may use onscreen keyboard to enter the detail .. which makes it difficult for software virus to know ur words
