Top Tips

Christmas is getting closer (yay!) and most of us work and most of us like to shop. Check out these 5 top tips for staying safe when shopping on line in the holiday season.

1) Use your desktop PC, not your mobile device, to shop, because your desktop browser is likely to be more secure.
2) Protect sensitive information, like credit card numbers, by password-protecting both your mobile device and its memory card.
3) Make sure you update your anti-virus and anti-malware programs continually.
4) Treat social networking sites with the same caution as other web sites-social sites are a growing target for fraudsters and virus writers.
5) Be cautious of special offers. If it looks too good to be true, it probably is. Fake online offers and coupons may lead to harmful sites, so be suspicious.
