Cybersecurity Tip of the Week – Think Carefully Before Saving Credit Card Information in Your Browser

While it may make online shopping faster, stored payment information can become an easy target if your computer, browser account, or device is compromised. Malware, stolen devices, or unauthorized access to your browser profile could allow someone to make purchases using your saved cards without needing to know the full account number. Shared or family computers can also increase the risk of accidental or unauthorized purchases. Instead of storing payment information in your browser, consider using a trusted password manager or secure payment service with multi-factor authentication. Taking an extra few seconds to enter your card information manually can help better protect your finances and personal information.
