Here's another work piece I did. This should provide you with some great information on how to protect yourself online:

"With a little preparation and education most consumers can avoid online fraud. The first thing you want to be certain of when conducting online banking or credit card transactions is the identity of the organization you are dealing with. Never give your information out, whether online or over the phone, unless you are 100% sure of the integrity and trustworthiness of the recipient. And NEVER email credit card numbers, social security numbers, or your login information.

The first step to protecting yourself against cybercrime and online fraud is to protect your computer. Make sure you are running a software firewall and anti-virus solution- and keep them updated. Regularly apply your operating system vendor’s software patches. Keeping your computer updated is a never ending process, and you should regularly monitor it."
