Welcome. Welcome. Welcome way. Welcome to our many podcast Episode five tips on how to safely shop online. Let's get started. Number one always place Harada from a secure Connexion. Did you know that if your computer isn't protected from potentially malicious software, your financial information and your passwords are at risk from being stolen, so always use a secure connexion. But how do you do that? Well, first of all, keep an eye on the top of your browser. That little padlock, the one before the web address. Most look as though it is locked. A locked padlock means that particular web page is secure. And whilst you're looking at the top of your browser, just make sure the Web address starts with H T T. P s. That s is the important bit. It signifies security. If you can only see http without the s, then it's not secure for you to pay for your goods. Also, if you're shopping online while using a wireless network, that's WiFi that's outside your home. It's best to avoid making any financial transactions, as you may not know if that WiFi is compromised. Number two No, the cellar on their reputation If you already know the store where you're about to do some online shopping, then that Khun reassure you. If you don't know the online store, though, maybe because it's new to you, you just need to take a few more precautions before paying for anything. There have a look at websites dedicated to reviewing online stores. If the store isn't reviewed or does not have favourable reviews, maybe consider using another online store number. Three. Be careful about sharing too much information when paying online. But how do you know the right amount of information to give when shopping online? Well, you can expect to provide some method of payment, of course, as well as your delivery address, your telephone number and your email address. But if the seller requests all the information you need to be wary. You never want to give them your actual bank account information that's different from what's on your bank card. Also, you shouldn't be sharing things like your Social Security information or your driver's licence number. Many online stores clearly state that they do not share, sell or rent consumers information. Stick to the companies that respect your privacy. Number four that number on the back of your bank card is important. That little number on the back of your bank card is called the Cvv Code. It can go by other names, but essentially it's a security code that's unique to your card. Most websites will ask for this security code when you're making a purchase on this is just on an additional security protection for you. Never share that code with anyone unless it's necessary for making a payment to somebody you trust. Finally, number five I need to create a password. Make it unique. When you're shopping online, you will often be asked to create an account with a password. Many online shops ask you to do this. Usually you can choose not to do this on DH unless you will use the online shop frequently. Just don't create an account. If you do want an account, make sure to use a unique and strong password. As always, it should not be a password you've used before. And don't use the word that's too easy. Maybe make a password. Or that is the combination of two non related words and have a number between them. Well, we hope these tips have been helpful for you. We'll have more coming up very soon.
