How To Secure Your E-wallet And Other Important Online Accounts by olisasegun(m): 7:06pm On Dec 26, 2015 |
During my early days as an investor, I lost $700 and $850 at different times to Hackers from my online accounts. These ugly incidents forced me to adopt steps to prevent future occurrence and they have never failed me. Ø Use a Gmail as your ID because it is more difficult to hack than the others. Ø Avoid fake login page, always check your E wallet or account web address is correct before login. Check Green SSL certificate bar in browser before login. Ø Phishing emails: Never click on a link in an email to take you to a website, or enter personal details either in the email or website. Copy manually and paste to expose the real site. Real websites never ask for your login or any other confidential details. Ø Never download or Install software from Unknown or untrusted Publisher. Ø Ensure you log off properly: It is important to completely log off from your E wallet account, sometimes you do not auto logout by simply closing the windows. Ø Invite software expert to periodically search and remove terrible plug-in from your browser, if you can’t do it yourself. Ø Use very strong and up-to-date anti-virus software. Ø Use very strong and least predictable password. Ø Never login to your confidential accounts in internet cafes or a computer that is not your own. Ø Last but not the least; ensure activation of 2-step verification or Authentication security code. http://olisasegun..com.ng/2015/12/how-to-secure-your-e-wallet-and-other.html |

cozy7: Yes sir. with key-logger, plug-in and terrible tool-bar and JavaScript, hackers can hijack or attack your system especially when you are online. Your settings can be changed and your account access remotely. |

olisasegun: Sometimes I am surprised too myself. However, I am sure the MODs have their reasons. |
