Safety Essentials

Check out these insightful tips:

• Your username and password for financial institution should be different to social or recreational sites and other websites where you may conduct transactions. Check out how to create a good password.
• Anti-virus software should be installed and set up to scan your system automatically.
• Ensure your computer and Internet browser are running the latest versions and updates. Visit the manufacturer's Web site and download any updates if needed.
• Change your user name and password frequently.
• Be conscious of what you allow to connect to your computer. Memory sticks, music players and mobile phone devices can spread viruses and may lead to a data leakage from your computer. Only allow devices that you trust or configure your computer to restrict access for connected devices.
• If you become a victim of identity theft, contact your financial institutions (banks, credit unions, credit card companies) who are affected and contact the following organizations which maintain information about your credit ratings.
