December 18 2016
Ecommerce is great! It offers choices and convenience. And this holiday season, many of us will purchase gifts online for our loved ones. But there is no substitute to being a well-informed consumer. So, we put together a list of best practices to help you shop safely and confidently this holiday season.
1. Patch security vulnerabilities in your devices. Install operating system updates to patch security vulnerabilities and enhance the performance of your computers and devices. Cybercriminals can exploit vulnerabilities in your devices to obtain your personal and financial information. Don't allow it. If you need help performing these updates, please give us a call. We'll walk you through the necessary steps.
2. Ensure your anti-virus, malware and ransomware protection is operating optimally. Before transmitting personal and financial information online, be sure your protection software is performing well. All these security measures running in the background are important to safeguard your well-earned money and identity.
3. Avoid using public Wi-Fi when shopping or banking. Don't transmit any personal or financial information, such as passwords, credit card info, etc., when using a public Wi-Fi. Unsecure connections are just too risky.
4. Shop trusted merchants. Carefully read the merchant's shipping fees, delivery and return policies and other terms and conditions prior to purchasing goods or services. Read the item's description and, if possible, also research merchant and product reviews as well.
