Recommendations for a safe online purchase during CyberWOW 2022
Next, we share with you the suggestions provided by the specialist and professor of the School of Systems Engineering of the César Vallejo Renzo Allende University to buy safely online.
- Avoid email, text or social media redirects. In case it is an unreliable page, the mail usually leads to SPAM.
- Check the name of the pages well; for example, a bank’s website must have “www.nameoftheentity.pe” and not “www.nameoftheentity.com.tk” or other variations.
- Make use of prepaid cards in most online purchases in order to have a limit of money for purchases and thus control the balance.
- Use the same device for transactions.
- Check that a padlock appears in the bar of the website and not an exclamation mark.
