Cyber Monday tips from the BBB
November 28, 2016
- Mobile Security: It’s important to have a secure device. Be sure you’re using the most recent updated version of apps and operating system on the phone. Also, actively manage your location services, Bluetooth, microphone, and camera – making sure apps use them appropriately.
- HTTP and HTTPS: If you’re shopping online, make sure to look out to see if a website has “https://” at the beginning of its web address. The “S” at the end of HTTPS indicates that the website is secure, which makes it safe to enter credit card or other personal information. Do NOT submit personal information to any website that is not secure.
- Looking out for Scams: Check out the BBB’s Scam Tracker page to keep an eye out for scams, report a possible scam, and learn what you can do to protect yourself from scams.
- Interest-Based Advertising: You might notice ads personalized to you, sometimes based on your previous web searches. This is called Interest-Based Advertising. If you want to opt-out of receiving this type of advertising, visit http://youradchoices.com/.
