What can you do?

• Use a secure browser, compliant with Secure Socket Layer (SSL) standards by looking for the small padlock at the bottom right of your browser window and a URL that begins with https ("s" for secure).
• Be wary of emails that may appear to be from your bank but are really from criminals trying to lure you to a fake website to get your personal information. Never click on embedded links if you are suspicious; instead, type the URL directly into the browser or contact your bank to verify the authenticity of the email.
• Always check to see that you have typed the correct website address for your bank before conducting your transaction. Beware of copycat websites that deliberately use a similar name to trick you into disclosing personal information.
• Watch out for pop-up windows asking for personal information or warning of a virus.
