* Ensure that credit cards used to purchase goods or services on the Internet have a low credit limit, or if debit cards are used, that they have limited funds and are only topped up to cover specific Internet purchases.
* All expenses incurred through Internet transactions should be carefully audited on a regular basis for any anomalies.
* Only enter credit card details on a Web site if you are confident as to its authenticity and that the connection is secure - the prefix https (as opposed to the usual http) in the Web Site address indicates a secure connection.
* If the security of a Web site is in doubt, any confidential information posted to it may be exposed to malicious intent. Be extremely cautious when posting confidential details on any site where the Internet Service Provider hosting the site is not verified. Note that we have pre-checked all sites referenced in this newsletter for security!
