INTERNET SECURITY TIPS
Many online users are targeted by online hackers through Phishing, Spyware and Adware, Viruses, Worms and Trojans. We have developed a number of tips and to help you minimize your chances of becoming a victim of identity theft and other online scams.
You can minimize your online risk by:
- Always accessing E-Banking by typing the address into your web browser. If in doubt, contact our customer service center (268-480-6187).
- Be extra careful when using internet cafes or public computers or other computers that do not belong to you.
- Delete your Internet browsing history frequently.
- Change your E-Banking password on a regular basis.
- Use strong passwords or pin numbers for your internet account. Try to choose passwords that are difficult for others to guess by incorporating letters, numbers and symbols.
- Use both letters and numbers and a combination of lower case and capital letters if the passwords or pins are case sensitive.
- Never use birthdates, your names or the names of close family members as your password.
- Keep your PC secure. Use up-to-date anti-virus software, security patches and a personal firewall. Perform regular scans of your computer.
- Do not reply to any e-mail from a business or person requesting personal information such as username, password or PIN or other highly sensitive information. Authentic ECAB emails will never request that type of information.
- Open e-mails only when you know the sender. Immediately delete emails of unknown origins.
- Be especially careful about opening an e-mail with an attachment. Even a friend may accidentally send an e-mail with a virus.
- Be careful before clicking on a link contained in an email or other message. The link may not be trustworthy.
- Do not send sensitive personal or financial information unless it is encrypted on a secure website. Regular emails are not encrypted and are more like sending a post card.
- Look for the padlock symbol on the bottom bar of the browser to ensure the site is running in secure mode before entering sensitive information.
- Be especially wary of unsolicited e-mails originating from outside of Antigua.
- Always check your bank statements. If you notice anything irregular, contact us immediately.
If you receive an email requesting you to re-register or re-enter sensitive details, delete it immediately and notify us by using our messaging system or email us at info@ecabank.com
