Watch Out for Identity Theft While Banking Online
Bangalore: Today, it feels silly to stand in a queue for a DD or to make phone payments. The ability to transfer money without moving from a chair is a symbol of how far human civilization has advanced. But online banking has made hackers rich and the careless poor. Here are some tips to keep your banking information safe and guard you from identity theft.
1. Lame Passwords
If you feel uncreative when a webpage demands a password right away, try to use online random password generators.
You may also try including special characters like $#^&%* etc. and numbers and letters from the lower and upper cases of the English alphabet. If remembering such complicated passwords is a hassle, you could also try picking letters from a sentence you find easy to remember. Try "I Hate Mondays" or "The Ultimate Answer To Life The Universe And Everything", in which case the password could be "Tuatltuae*42".
