Shoppers need to take the necessary steps to be sure that the
convenience of online shopping isn’t costing them their security and
privacy in the long run.
• Risk:
Convenience versus safety. Using the same username or password
repeatedly can put consumers at risk for personal information and
identity theft.
TIP: Don’t risk security for convenience. Consumers should make a
habit of using different usernames and passwords for sites they
visit frequently and keep their login information in a secure place.
To eliminate the risk of having personal data in unknown databases,
consumers should always decline when a Web site offers to remember
credit card or other information for future visits. In addition, one
time use credit cards can be used for online transactions to greatly
reduce the risk of fraud.
