5 Things to Do to Protect Your Identity Online

4. Detect spam mails

Spam mails posing to be your bank or some big company have become increasingly common. Try to identify suspicious mails. Don’t click on random links or open mails from strangers. Immediately discard anything in a mail, like their source or unusual request or offer that may seem off to you. Never give out your account details and passwords even if you receive an email from your bank. You bank will never ask for your personal details in that way. If you receive any such mail, then always cross check directly with your bank or go to their official site for verification.

5. Ward off hackers with firewalls

Firewalls are a good option to keep hackers at bay. Firewalls detect any malicious content and immediately create a protective wall before anyone can penetrate the private materials in your computer.
