Always set up two factor authentication for your net banking account, your social media accounts, and your email accounts.

Change your passwords every 90 days. It is a good practice to use passwords that are difficult to guess. Good passwords are long, i.e. between 10-15 characters and will include:

– Capital letters and small case letters
– Numbers
– Symbols, like @,#,$,%,&

Always update the firewall to its latest version.

Install antivirus software, and use anti-spyware spam filters. These will block a suspicious website from opening when we click on a fake link.

Update your phone’s software regularly.

Remove information about your address, phone number, or any other personal detail from your social media accounts.

Do not use a public Wi-Fi network when logging into your net banking account or using your banking app on the phone.

Never share your OTP, PIN, ATM card number, CVV with anyone. Banks will never ask for this information on call.

Never share your net-banking details with anyone. Even your bank will not ask for this information, it is private only to you.
