1. When online shopping, guard your card information. Designate just one credit card for all your online purchases. Use security software on your devices. Stay on top of security updates on your devices.
2. Check for the lock in the URL field when browsing, especially if you are using public or free Wi-Fi. The locked icon indicates a secure connection. Make sure you use sites that start with HTTPS. Sites with HTTPS show that your browser or app has a secure connection.
3. Look for shopping-related phishing emails, texts, and push alerts. Do not click on links contained within unsolicited emails, texts, and alerts on your devices.
4. When purchasing from different sites, change your password so your information is not compromised.
5. Check for the trusted store badge. The Google top quality store badge is for stores that offer high-quality customer experience, including security.
