Extreme precautions must be taken.

Security tips for online transactions

Make sure you have anti-virus, firewall, and anti- spyware software installed, activated, and up-to-date.

Download and install the latest antivirus security software updates for your operating system

Set your security preferences.

Do not leave your passwords easily traceable or next to the computer.

Never communicate your passwords to third parties.

Do not use the same password for online banking that you use on other less secure sites.

Once you have accessed your online banking account, do not leave your computer. When you have finished trading, exit the application by closing the session and the window.

Make sure an unbroken padlock or key icon appears at the bottom in the status bar of your browser window. When you enter a secure connection it will change the address in the address bar from http://... to https: //…

Never trust emails, phone calls, or websites that ask you to enter or verify private information.

Check your lender's website often for safety tips and advice.

For example, you could open a browser window (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, etc.) and type the address of your online banking in the address bar or from addresses saved in favorites. Access a screen that appears to be your online banking page and enter your username, password, etc. upon request. At that time, there is a failure in the connection so it tries the operation again.

Banks and other financial sites are the most frequent target of these attacks, because what hackers are trying to obtain is the personal information necessary to be able to access bank accounts, steal identity or commit other types of fraud with the user's name. It is a more dangerous tactic than phishing because it does not depend on negligent user action.

The entities have developed new key combination formulas and a series of recommendations so that the banking client has the minimum risk. You must be aware of these risks and exercise caution.
