Online payments, higher risks or advantages?
The use of cards to do online shopping has become a common practice in Romania, later than Western European countries, but apart from a number of advantages, they also pose high risks.
Online payments are the most risky when it comes to card frauds, because the card account data can be stolen much easier in the online environment.
Make sure the websites you make your online payments are safe and transactions are secured through SSL protocol (the webpage has the prefix https:// instead of http://).
Make sure the antispyware and antivirus software installed on your computer are updated. Don’t save any personal information linked to the card, account or Internet Banking applications in your computer.
