Today I'm glad to share with all of you about " MIND YOUR STEP " slogan. In this topic, the slogan stand by for you must be careful when you enter some blogs, or website .

online shopping is concvenient, easy, and quick. But before you start adding items to you cart, make sure you are up to date and have the latest security software, web browsers and operating system. Keeping a clean machine is the best defense against viruses, maware, and other online threats.

Here are some other ways to protect yourself when shopping online:

• CHECK OUT SELLERS: Conduct independent research before you buy from seller you have never done business with. Some attackerstry to trick you by creating malicious websites that appear legimate, so you should verify the site before supplying any information.Locate and note phone and physical adresses of vendor in case there is a problem with your transaction of your bill. Search for merchant reviews.

• MAKE SURE THE SITE IS LEGITIMATE: Before you enter your personal and financial information to make an online transaction, look for signs that the site is secure.This includes a closed padlock on your web browser's address bar or a URL adress that begins with shttp or https. This indicates that purchase is encrypted or secure. Never use unsecured wireless networks to make an online purchase.

• PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION: When making a purchase online, be alert to the kinds of information being collected to complete the transaction. Make sure you think it is necessary for the vendor to request that information. Remember, you only need to fill ot required fields on a vendors checkout form. Before providing personal or financial information, check the website's privacy policy. Make sure you understand how your information will be stored and used.

• USE SAFE PAYMENT OPTION: Credit cards are generally the safest option because they allow buyers to seek a credit from the issuer if the product isn’t delivered or isn’t what was ordered. Also, unlike debit cards, credit cards may have a limit on the monetary amount you will be responsible for paying if your information is stolen and used by someone else. Never send cash through the mail or use a money-wiring service because you’ll have no recourse if something goes wrong.  Don’t forget to review return policies. You want a no-hassle ability to return items.

• KEEP A PAPER TRAIL: Print and save records of your transactions, including the prouct desciption, price, online receipt, terms of the sale, and copies of any email exchance with the seller. Read your credit card statements as soon as you  get them to make sure there are not any unauthorized charges. If there is a dicrepancy, call your bank report it immediately.

• TURN YOUR COMPUTER OFF WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED SHOPPING: Many people leave their computers running and connected to the internet al day and night. This gives crammers 24/7 access to your computer to install malware and commit cyber crimes. To be safe, turn off your computer when it's not in use.
