• Install anti-virus software on your computer, and regularly download updates to keep your computer safe.
• Only log into internet banking from the bank's secure website, or your bookmark bar. Never log into internet banking via a link from an email -- including if the email looks like it's been sent by your bank -- or via a link from another website.
• Never tell anyone else your password -- including in a response to an email request, even if that email appears to have been sent from your bank.
• Avoid logging into internet banking on a shared computer, such as one at the library, internet cafe or shop.
• Similarly, avoid using public networks to access your online account, such as free Wi-Fi services in libraries, cafes or airports.
• Do not leave your computer unattended while logged into internet banking.
• Be suspicious of emails and phone calls that appear to be from your bank asking for account information. Contact your bank on a number your are familiar with and you know is legitimate to confirm the email or phone call is genuine.
• Always log out and clear your computer's cache at the end of each session.
• Monitor your accounts regularly, paying attention to all transactions to make sure there is no suspicious activity.
