While this blog is about making Money Online, it cannot be helped that it will always be on the 'receiving' end, so to speak. It is inevitable that sometimes we need to make some payments online too, such buying e-books online, registering on those affiliate membership, upgrading online accounts and more.
But how do make sure that you are making a secured online payment?
Making online payment secure is the topic of one of the topics submitted on web-articles.info. It deals mostly about the security of bank's online payment system, and how, so far their system is one tough security that cannot be breached.
But of course, any security is only as strong as its weakest link. That is what was suggested as the article progresses. Because while the codes of the systems are tough to crack, 'insiders' can easily break into it do some hocus-pocus on their clients' accounts. Uh-oh, not encouraging.
To be sure, never trust your username and password to anyone, not even to your banker. And when you access your accounts or make your payments online, be sure to log-in on the official log-in page of the site. Be wary of those e-mails asking you to change your password, because they could actually be phishing attempts. To be sure, type the URL on browser, instead of clicking on any links in your email.
Making online payments is definitely convenient, but it also has its risk. So be careful, be sure, be safe.
