How can I enhance my Internet security level?

Keep your login ID and passwords safe
Never disclose your login ID and passwords to anyone, and do not record them anywhere. We highly recommend that you change your passwords regularly and use different passwords for other services, e.g. email and online banking.

Open email and attachments with caution
Be aware when opening unexpected emails with attachments, and never click on a hyperlink in a suspicious email. If you really need to open the attachements, always scan with it Internet security software.

Install anti-virus, firewall and anti-spy programmes
Install Internet security software with anti-virus, anti-spyware and personal firewall features to perform real-time detection of new viruses, spyware and intrusions on your computer. Enable the auto-update feature to obtain the latest virus and spyware definition files. You are also advised to regularly scan your system.

Keep your system patches updated
Make sure you are using supported versions of OS. Enable the auto-update feature to obtain and apply security patches regularly from trusted sources.

Maintain safe practices when you login / logout
Do not access your account with a public computer (e.g. in a cyber cafe). Before logging in to our website, close all browser windows to protect your personal information from unauthorised access from another website. You should always logout from your account after using it.

What is 256-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption?

Our trading platforms use 256-bit SSL encryption, which is the standard Internet security encryption used for most banking and government applications worldwide. The data transmitted via our trading platforms is protected by this technology to ensure data security. To check this, simply look at the padlock symbol in the bottom right hand corner of the Internet browser, which means the page is encrypted and transmitted securely.
