Attention when shopping online
According to Trend Micro, a good security vendor, doing some good things like not clicking ads on email, being careful with malware makes online shopping safer.
Regardless of the search engine:
Search results can lead to malicious websites stealing money from credit cards as well as other personal data, or causing your computer to become infected. Instead, bookmark trusted online shopping sites.
Do not click on ads on email:
Spam messages offer many discounts such as gift cards from major retailers or downloadable coupons. These programs want to trick you into providing personal financial information and passwords.
No advertising news is too 'sweet':
Scammers offer very attractive invitations on social networking sites, email and online websites so you can click on a malicious link.
Don't be confused with fake eBay or PayPal websites:
These are two of the most popular fake sites today. The fraudster will send an email asking you to update your information for that website or take similar actions to get your personal information.
Don't wait until your credit card bill comes every month:
Check regularly for any suspicious signs.
Carefully use smartphones:
Use security features such as password security, use a mobile security application and automatically turn off Wi-Fi. Otherwise, while shopping with a smartphone at a Wi-Fi cafe, the person at the next table can hack your credit card number, as well as your password and other information.
Be careful with malware that fakes Facebook accounts:
Don't believe everything you read on Facebook, especially don't click on shortened links. Link you to people you know in real life and use different passwords for each social networking site. There were 38 million Adobe customers hacked personal data and passwords. A consequence has risen when other websites warn their customers that if they use the same password at Adobe on other websites, their account could be hacked.
Virtual websites:
Avoid websites that have invalid registration or self-signed licenses.
Use a credit card with low limits:
For example, Visa debit cards can only be used for online shopping.
