Shopping online is easy and convenient, but it can put your personal information and finances at risk. Consider these tips:
•Keep your ID, passwords and PINs confidential.
• Don’t use public-access, open networks when buying or banking online.
• Do not allow your computer or mobile device to auto-remember your password or credit card information.
• Make sure that you shop on encrypted websites. Look for the lock symbol or https:// at the beginning of the website address. The “s” means “secure.”
