Securely and Safely Shop Online

You’re probably one of the thousands Australians that is enjoying the fast development of the internet and technology.  It has been part of our daily living that without it our day to day life would be boring enough.   It’s so simple that even a 65 year-old woman is keeping her Facebook updated daily! I am sure most of us really can’t imagine life without those things nowadays.

Most of us really know one of the many advantages the internet can do and has to offer is online shopping (I admit I am an addict!). Online shopping has become the way of life for most of us however at times it can be a huge hustle and even stressful shopping at the physical store that you have to go through a heavy traffic nad most especially if you have your kids with you.  What you’ll find is that most of us really enjoy the online shopping experience and wait for your order to arrive at your doorstep.

Are you shopping securely and safely?

If you’re new to online shopping it’s only natural to tread with caution but what’s also important is that whenever you do the online shopping (new or old) you should keep in mind to shop as safely and securely as possible. Thus, we recommend these 4 tips to follow when surfing the online field:

1. Always check that the site you’re shopping with is secure before entering payment information.

Look out for the lock! The lock symbol can be found on any payment page, and if you’re not familiar with the brand you can check that the issuer of the certificate is reputable by clicking on the lock icon.

Green is good! An additional level of confidence is provided by sites that offer a “green bar” in the browser using an "EV Certificate" (Extended Validation).  This generally means the site is reputable and has been reviewed and deemed trustworthy by the certificate.

2. Follow your instinct! If you don’t trust a site look, for an alternative payment method such as Paypal.

3. Get the virus before it gets you! If you are running a Windows machine, use a reputable antivirus provider such as AVG, McAfee, Avira or Bit Defender.  Make sure your antivirus is set up to do full scans periodically and to keep itself up-to-date.

4. Give Spam the flick! Do not respond to unsolicited (Spam) emails:

• Avoid responding to Phishing mails – bogus official looking emails that usually direct you to fake login pages to steal your credentials. Most organizations will never send you an email asking you to reset your password, or provide sensitive data.
• Phishing attacks don’t just target banks or financial information – they will target shopping sites, classifieds sites and social networks such Facebook, Twitter, etc.
• An interesting statistic in the RSA annual report from 2009 showed that Australia is in the top ten countries by attack volume (RSA Report, page 6) so we should be more extra careful and vigilant about this.
