Fight Internet GrinchesDuring the Holiday Season

PROTECT YOUR SPACE!

Online shopping is safer than ever, but consumers need to take reasonable precautions against online fraud and identity theft. By guarding your identity and personal information, and protecting your PC with a comprehensive security solution such as Norton Internet Security or Norton 360, you can enjoy a safe, worry-free online shopping experience.

Although security software is a powerful deterrent to these disruptive attacks, Internet users must also be vigilant in protecting themselves online.

Norton from Symantec would like to share with you some QUICK TIPS to fight holiday fraudsters, hackers and identity thieves by securing your PC. Keep the Internet grinches out of your gift list!

ONLINE SHOPPING TIPS

1) Patch your computer’s security holes and update your security software on a regular basis to
keep your identity, accounts, and privacy safe.

2) Use the most up to date version of your security software available, Online criminals want you
to use the older versions so that they can attack your computer again and again.

3) Know who you are dealing business with, Do have other ways to contact online retailers apart
from over the Internet if you are not familiar with the online store.

4) Use strong passwords of at least eight characters, with a combination of numbers, letters, and
punctuation symbols. Don’t use the same one everywhere and change them regularly.

5) Be wary of online scams, Online offers that look too good to be true usually are.

6) Online banking can actually help you protect your identity. Log in and check your financial
statements regularly, and report suspicious transactions immediately.

7) Look for the browser “lock” icon when sharing confidential with a website, but understand that this only signifies a secure communication channel, not necessarily a legitimate website.

8) Never respond to an email, instant message, or phone call asking you to go to a website to
resolve an account problem, as fraudsters can easily impersonate trusted brands this way.

9) Never submit confidential information via forms embedded within email messages. Instead,
communicate that information over the phone or through a secure website.

10) Enjoy beating some of the holiday crowd by being smarter and safer online.
