The Krasnoyarsk residents were told how minimize the threats of finance when paying for purchases with a card and through the phone. In order to protect your data, it is important to adhere to the basic principles of cybergigia.

First of all, you need to choose proven platforms with a positive reputation. It is important to pay attention to user reviews, the availability of contact details and transparent return conditions. The site address should accurately comply with the company’s official domain – even minor typos in the URL can indicate a phishing page.

According to Kirill Aksyonov, the head of the Megafon projects for the introduction of Fintech Platforms, the basis for the protection of online payments is a TLS protocol that ensures encryption of the transmitted data:

“A special locking icon in the address bar of the browser confirms that the connection with the site is protected and the data is transmitted in the encrypted form. The absence of such a badge should be a danger signal and an occasion to refuse to enter payment data. It is important to note that there may be exceptions: the browser can issue a warning when it is on the sites of reliable organizations (for example, banks). They do not have a certificate, so the browser can issue a warning, but this is normal. ”
