Very. It may seeem counter-intuitive, but banking online is safer than using your mailbox, a major source of identitiy theft. Most important: make sure your bank has “zero liability” protection. It means the bank will cover you from any internet fraud on your account, provided you’ve taken basic security steps like enabling the firewall on your computer.
TIPS FOR BANKING SAFELY
Use a current browser: Firefox 2, Safari 3 or Internet Explorer 6 or 7.
Enable the function that automatically looks for security updates. On Windows XP, it’s under the Windows Security Center in the Control Panel. On Vista, click on Security under the Control Panel. On a Mac, it’s in the Sharing tab under System Preferences.
Don’t use the same password for all accounts and sites. A combo of letters, numbers and symbols best safeguards your bank data.
Install software that protects your computer from viruses (which can corrupt your files) and spyware (which can surreptitiously trasmit your adata to another computer). Three user-friendly choices: Symantec’s Norton Internet Security 2008, Kaspersky’s Internet Security 7.0 and McAfee’s Internet Security Suite.
