How One Can Protect Himself from Cyber Fraud?

Cyber-crime and fraudsters normally try to hack into the victims’ personal and financial information online by phishing the emails and viruses. If you receive an email with an attached link which either asks you to present your bank information or to confirm your bank account information, you should not do it. The key to avoiding cyber-crime is to understand what your bank and related bodies would ask of you, and they would never email or call you asking for your bank information. Even if the email or the phone call sounds legitimate and honest, you should call the bank yourself and ask them if this email originated from them or not.

First you should destroy all traces of your personal and financial information. If a bank has posted you information with your bank details on, ensure that you shared this information, as a fraudster could find this information in the bin and utilise it online to process a payment online. Furthermore, you should protect your computer with anti-virus software to combat any contact made between the fraudster and your computer.
