Secure Your Festive Finances: DoIT and IEMA-OHS Offer Tips for a Cyber-Safe Holiday

It may be “the most wonderful time of the year,” but one hack on your bank account or credit card could ruin it very quickly. Be wary of texts, ads, and emails that offer attractive purchases and instead go to the company’s website. Always check reviews and check for a physical location for the company and customer service information.

• Steer clear of fake websites:Double-check URLs, look for ‘https://’ and a padlock symbol, and stick with trusted retailers. Be cautious of unsolicited emails. 
• Beware of phishing emails:Be cautious of phishing emails, avoid suspicious links, and verify senders. 
• Create strong passwords:Use strong, unique passwords that include letters, numbers, and symbols for each retailer and consider a password manager. 
• Be cautious of deals that seem too good to be true:Staying skeptical of unrealistic deals can protect you from falling into digital traps. Stick to reputable retailers. 
• Avoid public Wi-FI: Avoid public Wi-Fi networks and use secure connections like home Wi-Fi or cellular data. Consider using a VPN for added protection.
