HOW TO KEEP YOURSELF SAFE IN CYBERSPACE

An important part of online safety is knowledge. The more you know, the safer you’ll be. Here are some great tips on how to stay safe in cyberspace:

HAVE A STRONG PASSWORD. good password is a combination of upper and lower case letters and numbers and one that is not easily guessed. Change your password frequently. Don't write it down or share it with others.

DON'T REVEAL PERSONAL INFORMATION VIA EMAIL. Emails and text messages can be masked to look like they are coming from a trusted sender when they are actually from someone else. Play it safe, do not send your personal information such as account numbers, social security numbers, passwords etc. via email or texting.

DON'T DOWNLOAD THAT FILE! Opening files attached to emails can be dangerous especially when they are from someone you don't know as they can allow harmful malware or viruses to be downloaded onto your computer. Make sure you have a good antivirus program on your computer that is up-to-date.

LINKS AREN'T ALWAYS WHAT THEY SEEM. Never log in from a link that is embedded in an email message. Criminals can use fake email addresses and make fake web pages that mimic the page you would expect. To avoid falling into their trap, type in the URL address directly and then log in.

WEB SITES AREN'T ALWAYS WHAT THEY SEEM. Be aware that if you navigate to a Web site from a link you don't type, you may end up at a site that looks like the correct one, when in fact it's not. Take time to verify that the Web page you're visiting matches exactly with the URL that you'd expect.

LOG OFF FROM SITES WHEN YOU ARE DONE. When you are ready to leave a site you have logged in to, logoff rather than just closing the page.

MONITOR ACCOUNT ACTIVITY. Monitor your account activity regularly either online or by reviewing your monthly statements and report any unauthorized transactions right away.

ASSESS YOUR RISK. We recommend periodically assessing your online banking risk and put into place increased security controls where weaknesses are found; particularly for members with business accounts. Some items to consider when assessing your online banking risk are:

  • Who has access to your online business accounts?
  • How and where are user names and passwords stored?
  • How strong are your passwords and how often are they changed? Are they changed before or immediately after terminating an employee who had access to them?
  • Do you have dual controls or other checks and balances with respect to access to online banking transactions?
