SECURITY MEASURES IN VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENTS

With the widespread use of the internet and other means of communication all around the world there is an obvious increase in cyber fraud.

  • Do not trust and respond to questions regarding credit card number and personal information directed through fake web sites.
  • Do not share any personal information or bank account details over the phone.
  • Take necessary safety precautions against the possibility of social media accounts hacking.
  • Do not trust any bank official who would ask for your credit card number or bank account details with excuses such as social media accounts hacking, donation and/or helping someone in need.
  • Do not trust and respond to any program that would request a payment in order to remove viruses such as Trojan horse from your computer and unlock the documents locked with passwords as a result of these viruses.
  • Disregard any e-mail which appears to be sent by the bank officials requesting ID photocopy, bank account details or contact information under the name of providing loans
  • Do not trust and send loan application request to any e-mail address other than official e-mail address of the bank or the financial institution. Be vigilant for the fake e-mail addresses that are created on purpose very similar to the bank`s or the financial institution`s address.
