As recent CBC article mentioned, last year increase in online transactions has been followed by an significant increase in e-transfer fraud, resaulting in almost $3 million in reported losses. Cyber criminals perform email hack and the money is beeing redirected to someone else’s account at another bank. 

In order to prevent such hacks first thing we all need to do is to make sure we change our passwords often and make them unique and difficult to guess. The most volnurable are our passwords for loging into our email accounts and any money related sites.

It’s no longer enough to count on others to keep us safe and we all need to take actions to protect ourselves. After all, we don’t give keys to our home to just anybody, do we?! When we don’t protect our passwords it is like giving a stranger from the street a key to your home.

And I can just hear you complaining that there are too many passwords to remember and it is too complicated and you are too unimportant to warry about it, because you are too small to bother.. Guess what?! It is no longer true. If your door in unlocked, anybody can walk in and take whatever they want.

One way to make your life easier, allowing you to just remember one difficult password is using a Password Manager . It is a useful tool to help in generation and safe storage of unique, for each site you are using, and difficult to quess passwords. MiKSMedia has introduced their MPM (MiKSMedia Password Manager) just last April realizing early on, that our increased online presence would significantly increase potential for cyber crime.
