Internet Banking Safety Measures

Here are some internet banking safety practices:

Use websites like www.haveibeenpwned.com, https://breachdirectory.org to see if any of your personal information has been compromised which will make it easier for attackers to gather information on you.

Always update the firewall to its latest version. Install antivirus software, and use anti-spyware spam filters. These will block suspicious websites from opening when we click on a fake link.

    Register your phone number on the National Do Not Call Registry. The National Do Not Call Registry will block most incoming spam calls and messages on your phone.  Send an SMS that says “START0” to the number 1909

    In case the suspicious message is from a friend or relative, or seemingly from your own company, contact the person whom you know through a phone call to clarify whether they are really the ones who have sent the text.

    Always set up two-factor authentication for your net banking account, your social media accounts, and your email accounts. Two-factor authentication is a method where after you enter the password and login ID in a website, you’re also asked to verify your identity through an OTP sent to your phone.
