Protecting a credit card online
12 August 2008
In order to protect a credit card online, you will need to protect your details by securing the system you use to make transactions. By installing anti-malware software on your computer and performing regular scans, you can reduce the risks of using a credit card online.
Another important element of credit card fraud prevention is to be sure you only use trusted websites and to confirm that the site you are entering information into is the real site you intended. Phishing scams, where a fake website poses as a legitimate one, are commonly encountered by people who type in the address of the site they intend to visit. Many phishing attempts are on sites with addresses that are mistypings of more popular sites. Be careful not to get scammed.
