Cybersecurity Awareness
- Double-check Emails: Be careful with emails asking for personal info or quick action. Always check who sent it before replying.
- Keep Card Info Private: Never share your card details like the number, CVV, or expiration date with anyone.
- Shop on Trusted Websites: Only buy from well-known and safe websites. Make sure the web address starts with ‘https’ before entering payment details.
- Don’t Open Unknown Attachments: Avoid opening email attachments or downloading software from unknown sources—they could contain harmful viruses.
- Avoid Unrealistic Offers: If a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is. Stay cautious they’re usually scams.
- Be Careful with Unknown Messages: Don’t share financial information with people you don’t know who send you random messages or friend requests.
- Beware of Fake Job Offers: Be suspicious of job offers you didn’t apply for, especially if they promise high pay for little effort.
- Download Apps from Safe Sources: Only get banking apps from official app stores to avoid fake versions.
- Don’t Trust Unverified Bank Calls: If someone calls claiming to be from your bank and asks for personal info or OTPs, remember that the bank will never request such details. Always confirm their identity before sharing any information.
- Be Wary of Account Alert Messages: Be careful with messages that claim there’s suspicious activity on your account and ask you to log in through a link they provide.
- Ignore Login Requests: Don’t give out your login information if someone asks for it, even if they say your account needs verifying.
