How to protect my online transactions?
The following can be adopted:
• Do not write down login and password information.
• Be wary of calls from people claiming to be officials, especially those of foreign countries. Official agencies would not ask you for your password or make payment over the phone.
• Do not share your personal information such as NRIC, Passport No. address, bank details, credit card numbers, One-Time-Password (OTP) from tokens, passwords etc
• Set strong passwords and change them regularly. A strong password is at least 10 characters in length, consisting of uppercase and lowercase alphabets, numbers, and symbols. Change these passwords regularly. Ideally, you should use a different password for every online account you have.
• Check your financial statements regularly, and report all suspicious transactions.
• Use 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) to secure your financial accounts.
