Protecting your financial identity

Be Aware Of Key Loggers

Make sure it is safe to type your password

Key logging is used by internet fraudsters to capture your password/PIN or other sensitive information you type into the computer. Software programs or small hardware devices can be programmed to record which keys you type. Once the fraudsters collect your password/PIN, they might use it for their own financial gain.
