Safeguard your online activities and protect your finances in five easy steps:

  • Create Strong Passwords - Create complex passwords that utilize upper and lower cases, alpha, numeric and special characters. Dont use the same password for multiple sites. Never write down or reveal your passwords. Change passwords regularly.
  • Lock your Computer - Always lock your computer when you are away.
  • Think before you click - Malicious websites look very real, so verify the URL destination before you click.
