How to Protect Yourself from Phishing?
- While using online banking open the browser and type the bank URL.Avoid login using hyperlinks given in emails.
- Do not open multiple browser windows while online transactions.
- Do not enter any bank details like Account no, User ID, passwords in pop-ups that appear in web session.
- Clear all cookies before and after Net banking.
- Use a reputed Antivirus & Anti spyware to stay protected 🙂
