How To Shop Safely Online This Chrismas Season by Solomonfiverr(m): 3:20am On Nov 23, 2019 |
How to Stay Safe While Shopping Online Many people would prefer shopping online this Chrismas season but i would actually not recommend shopping online to anyone only if you are shopping from a safe store. With hackers seeming to be in every corner, it’s hard to believe that people haven’t completely given up on using the internet. However, the internet is important to many, so the key is to always remember that hackers are everywhere. In particular, hackers always seem to go where the money is, so it’s vital that you know how to stay safe when using shopping sites online. They can get hold of your credit card information which will then lead you to become victim to cyber theft. Listed below are some tips to follow, to ensure that you’re being the safest you can possibly be when shopping online. I don't know everything. Please make sure you ask your questions below in the comments section so you can get your question solved. 1. Trust your gut. If you have a bad feeling about a website, that may be your body telling you that this website isn’t safe. If at any time you feel as though the shopping site is asking you way too many questions, close out the tab and quit the transaction. Also key to note; if you notice that the site looks like it was made in the 90s, has a peculiar address, or fills your screen with pesky pop-ups, just close out of the tab. |

2. Be very careful when on a mobile device. Smartphones can do everything a computer can do, but that unfortunately does not mean they can protect us against scamming threats like some computers can. Since you do not have that warning on your phone, it becomes very easy for hackers to sneak their way into your phone and your information - especially when you’re shopping online on public Wi-Fi. Use caution when shopping on your phone because hackers are always lurking. |
