With the rapid spread of digital payments, online shopping has become an integral part of daily life. However, alongside convenience, this process also brings certain risks for users. In particular, the protection of bank card information should not be overlooked.
"Yeni Sabah" reports that experts advise citizens to follow a number of important security rules when making online purchases.
First and foremost, making payments using public Wi-Fi networks is risky. In such networks, the likelihood of personal information being intercepted by third parties is higher.
At the same time, it is recommended that users do not enter card information on websites that do not have a lock icon or the "https:" address in the URL bar. Such websites are not considered secure and may pose a risk of data theft.
Another important point is to avoid storing card information in the browser or website memory. This is considered an important step in preventing potential cyber threats in the future.
Experts emphasize that by adhering to simple security rules, citizens can prevent both financial losses and theft of personal information.
