Be assured that we take the security of your business and personal information very seriously. We take all reasonable steps to protect our systems against intrusion or any other form of attack or compromise. Verify that the site is secure Check that the website with which you are transacting with is a secure site. A secure site will have the "Secure" padlock at the head of the URL and the URL will start with "https//". Safeguard your PIN code Never divulge your PIN to anyone. Keep your PIN secret, since divulging this information could be used by a third party to access your Vault contents. Be particularly cautious when using public computer terminals - don't allow people to watch you typing in your information, and ensure that the browser does not store your PIN code. Change your PIN regularly Don't allow your browser software to save your Password Your browser may have a setting that stores PIN codes and personal details. Although this can be convenient when you are using your personal PC at home, it is very dangerous if someone else might use the browser after you. If your browser offers to remember your PIN code or any passwords for you - do not click yes. Install and maintain anti-virus software A virus is a malicious program that destroys data on your computer. Viruses are often received via e-mail. To protect yourself from viruses, you should install credible anti-virus software and keep this anti-virus software up to date. Do not open e-mails from people you do not know, and never open an attachment or run a program file unless you are completely sure that they are safe. |
