Do you think about security when you put your credit card information into a website? Many unknown threats to your personal and financial information are out there, but we have ways to help you keep your information as safe as possible. Protect your information online to avoid fraudulent charges on your credit card.

Technology is constantly changing and evolving. We must all learn how to cope with this evolution in order to keep our information safe.

Using strong passwords, a firewall and not clicking on unknown websites are some of the ways to protect yourself. Don’t access your banking, credit card or other personal information on mobile devices when you are using public wifi, like at Starbucks or Panera.

Always update your phone, tablet and computer to the latest operating systems. Often times the updates contain updated software to protect you as new threats are discovered.
