Tips for Secure Online Transactions for Peace of Mind
Avoid heartbreak and disappointment, whilst keeping your data safe, by following these preventive measures. Pay attention, Jagoan!
- Avoid accessing wifi in public places
To attract more customers, generally restaurants, cafes and malls like to provide free wifi. Anything free is interesting, but when it comes to wifi, you need to be extra careful. Free wifi is not necessarily secure for your personal transactions. Always opt to conduct your transactions at home, where your wifi access is more limited. Security, more guaranteed. - Don’t forget to activate notifications
Don’t you like it better when you get reminders? That’s what your notifications will do for you. If you make an online transaction via an application, just activate the notification.
If you are using online banking, notifications are usually sent via email or SMS. Don’t block them. They help notify you on recent transactions. If it was not your transaction, you can report immediately. - Set up a PIN and authentication features
PIN and authentication features are needed for secure online transactions. Set a PIN and authentication features such as biometrics, not only for the applications you use, but also on your phone so that not just anyone can peek at the contents of your phone. - OTP is yours and yours alone
No less important is OTP, which stands for One-Time Password. You usually receive this OTP in the form of an SMS or message on Whatsapp when you first register for an account. But there are also applications or sites that require you to enter an OTP every time you want to log in.
If you suddenly get an OTP even though you don’t feel like making a transaction or logging into a site, beware! That’s a sign of piracy. Don’t spread this OTP to other people, whoever it is, Jagoan.
