How One Can Protect Himself from Cyber Fraud?
Beware of Phishing Emails and Viruses
Do not click on suspicious links or confirm bank information via email. Phishing emails often look legitimate but are designed to steal your personal information. Always verify the sender's email address and be cautious of urgent requests for personal information.
Call Bank Directly to Verify
If you receive any suspicious communication claiming to be from your bank, call the bank directly using the official number from their website or your bank statement. Never use contact information provided in suspicious emails or messages.
Destroy Personal Information
Properly destroy traces of personal and financial information. Shred documents containing sensitive data before disposing of them. Be careful when sharing information online and only provide it on secure, verified websites.
Protect Your Computer
Install and regularly update anti-virus software on your computer and mobile devices. Keep your operating system and applications updated with the latest security patches. Use strong, unique passwords for all your online accounts.
Additional Tips: Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on all important accounts, use secure payment gateways, never share OTPs or passwords with anyone, and regularly monitor your bank statements and credit reports for any unauthorized transactions.
