You might have noticed that our cautionary notes center around four threat vectors you need to track to stay safe: device, app, network, and account security. Here\u2019s a list of best practices to stay secure, broken down by these categories. It\u2019s long, but you can think of it as a knowledge bank you can draw upon to ensure your protection.<\/p>\n<h3>Device Security<\/h3>\n<table>\n<tbody readability=\"12.69456681351\">\n<tr readability=\"25.389133627019\">\n<td width=\"20px\"\/>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li>Be careful when buying second-hand mobile devices. They may contain pre-installed malware. After your purchase, do a factory reset to make sure your device is clean.<\/li>\n<li>Prevent theft of your mobile device: never carry it in an outside backpack pocket or purse or leave it unattended in a public place. When traveling, be aware of people in your surroundings when you use it, to guard against it being snatched.<\/li>\n<li>Use a passcode, pattern, and\/or biometrics (face, iris, or fingerprint recognition) to access your mobile device, with the idle timeout set to five minutes or less. Use a privacy screen protector, so people nearby can\u2019t see your login credentials onscreen as they look over your shoulder.<\/li>\n<li>Update the device\u2019s OS whenever an update is available. Updates typically patch vulnerabilities on your device and increase its efficiency.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t jailbreak or root your phone. This leaves the device\u2019s system more vulnerable to malware and other threats, particularly when booting up, as it breaks the cryptographic chain verifying the secure loading of the operating system. To <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macworld.co.uk\/how-to\/iphone\/unjailbreak-your-iphone-3601679\/\">unjailbreak an iPhone<\/a>, back it up to iCloud using a Mac, reinstall iOS, then restore it from the backup. Download and use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alphr.com\/google\/google-android\/1002546\/how-to-unroot-android-two-incredibly-simple-ways-to-unroot-your\">SuperSU or ES File Explorer<\/a> to unroot a rooted Android device.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t answer unsolicited calls, particularly those allegedly from your bank. Hoaxes often begin with suspicious phone calls.<\/li>\n<li>If you share your mobile device or take it in for repair, clear the browsing history, cache, and temp files first.<\/li>\n<li>Enable device data wipe or encryption after 5-to-10 login attempts. You be the judge on the number of attempts.<\/li>\n<li>Use an anti-theft function or app on your mobile device and enable remote find\/lock\/wipe for a lost or stolen device. For another layer of protection, use the OS function to encrypt the data on your phone and memory card.<\/li>\n<li>If your mobile device is lost or stolen, temporarily deactivate your bank account, or at least your debit or credit card. Remotely suspend\/deactivate\/lock down the device itself until it\u2019s located.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"10px\"\/>\n<td\/>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3><strong>App Security<\/strong><\/h3>\n<table>\n<tbody readability=\"6.3625685199687\">\n<tr readability=\"12.725137039937\">\n<td width=\"20px\"\/>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li>Download banking apps from trusted sources\u2014e.g., Apple App Store or Google Play Store, not from third-party sources\u2014to minimize threats from potentially harmful or fake banking apps.<\/li>\n<li>Turn on the setting in your phone or tablet that restricts you from downloading apps from such sites; or use a security app such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/en_us\/forHome\/products\/mobile-security.html\">Trend Micro Mobile Security<\/a> for Android to scan your banking apps for malware when you download or launch them, and keep the security app updated. (Note that you can also use its App Lock feature on Google Play and other App Store apps, so family members borrowing your device can\u2019t install unsupervised or risky apps.)<\/li>\n<li>Update your financial apps as soon as the update is available, since the most current version will typically fix vulnerabilities in the app.<\/li>\n<li>Enable any built-in security features of your banking apps. These can include idle time-outs, requiring re-inputs of your username and password after each transaction or a period of elapsed time.<\/li>\n<li>Turn off any banking app\u2019s home screen lock access or balance display functionality and set banking app permissions to an acceptable level.<\/li>\n<li>Delete junk, chain, and SMS\/Text mail messages regularly. Don\u2019t open enclosures accompanying them or click on any URLs embedded in the unsolicited message.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"10px\"\/>\n<td\/>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3><strong>Network Security<\/strong><\/h3>\n<table>\n<tbody readability=\"7.5\">\n<tr readability=\"15\">\n<td width=\"20px\"\/>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li>Don\u2019t bank while connected to unsecured Wi-Fi networks in public places; or, if you must, use a VPN to encrypt your transactions.<\/li>\n<li>If you\u2019re using your mobile browser, only log onto banking or financial websites that use https addresses and that show a padlock, indicating that the site deploys encrypted communications.<\/li>\n<li>When using your banking app in a public place, use it over 3G\/4G\/LTE if you can, and turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to prevent snooping.<\/li>\n<li>Turn on the NFC function on your mobile device right before your purchase, then turn it off once your purchase is complete. This can prevent the situation when your phone is \u201cbumped\u201d in a crowd by a criminal using an NFC sniffer device.<\/li>\n<li>Minimize location access that allows apps and websites to use information from cellular, Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth to determine a user\u2019s location.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"10px\"\/>\n<td\/>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3><strong>Account Security<\/strong><\/h3>\n<table>\n<tbody readability=\"6.5\">\n<tr readability=\"13\">\n<td width=\"20px\"\/>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li>Don\u2019t use auto-complete names and passwords in your financial apps or browser log-ins.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t store passwords in your browser or in an unsecured notes app. Use a password manager.<\/li>\n<li>Generate and use strong, unique passwords for your accounts. Generate them using the password manager. Change the password to your account every 30-90 days, depending on how often you use the account, to minimize password hacks.<\/li>\n<li>Enable two-factor authentication in your bank accounts and install an authenticator app, if your bank supports it. A code will be sent via SMS or to the registered authenticator, which must be entered before you can log into your bank.<\/li>\n<li>Log out of banking apps after you use them and before you sleep your phone.<\/li>\n<li>Check your accounts regularly for any suspicious activity; set notifications for transactions.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t respond to phishing texts or emails that request your PIN, account number, or any debit or credit card number.<\/li>\n<li>If your account is breached, log in and change the password to your account.
