Some basic rules and tips when our banks operate from home and online banking to avoid identity theft and phishing.

• Avoid as much as possible to access your Internet banking or conducting financial transactions in public places where Internet access is available for many people such as internet cafes, universities, schools, offices and so on.

These computers could have some system to “capture” your personal data or information from your accounts. If in the event of a possible “emergency” are forced to access the internet banking service, to carry out a transaction in a public place, do you have people very close and close the browser at the end of their operations. Next, or as soon as possible, change the security access codes from your personal computer.

• Access the safety tips offered by your bank. Most of them have this service. If you look almost all the websites of the banks give us some safety tips and some basic notices to users.
• Keep your browser updated to the security protocols in order.
• Make sure the navigation is safe and the banking website transmits encrypted information through the security protocol SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) which ensures the communication between server and client to avoid capture or see others exchanged data and ensuring the authenticity the server to which we connect and avoiding it to be supplanted by another.
