FxPro have put together important rules when using the internet.

The internet is widely used in a professional and recreational capacity, with billions of people using the internet every day. Despite the "ease" and free time offered, users should be aware of the dangers and prepare from any attacks a computer is vulnerable from "unwanted" emails, hostile websites and hackers.

Golden Rules of Protection

  • When using the internet you must have an antivirus program installed in order to avoid intrusions to your computer.
  • If you are using wireless internet connection make sure you have your connection locked and password protected.
  • Do not save any official documents on your computer, such as copy of Passport, ID, bank account numbers and copy of cards in case your computer is hacked or even stolen.
  • Keep all access codes/passwords in a safe place and try not to write these down anywhere.
  • Do not share an e-mail address with any person.
  • Do not reveal any access codes, passwords to any person.
  • If you are using a public computer, i.e. internet cafe, make sure you log out of any internet sites before leaving and (if possible) delete any cookies in order to minimise the risk of someone following your tracks
  • Regularly change your passwords on your e-mail accounts, or other accounts that require passwords.
  • Be careful of e-mails received and do not open files from unknown senders.
  • If you receive emails asking for personal information, do not respond.
  • Always have in mind that an established company/organisation never uses an e-mail address such as g-mail, yahoo, hotmail etc and always be careful when you are receiving such e-mails, even if it appears to be from a Company/Organisation you are dealing with.
  • Always remember that a company or organization will never require you to send them your login/password/access codes
  • When using a website that requires an access code, do not allow the browser to remember your passwords
