Now is 10.57pm, just came back from music club annual general meeting, I’m still haven’t take my bath yet (smelly ah ~). Haha… anyway, now want to write my 3^rd blog for this E-commerce subject again.

Today the title I’m going to talk is how to safeguard our personal and financial data. Nowadays, every people using internet very often and some of them even cannot survive without their lovely tool which is computer including me ~ haha.. However, there are many threats of online transaction which may steal or copy your personal information even your password of your login account.

However, there are many ways to prevent or safeguard your personal or financial data that online users no need to worry so much. One of the ways is using firewall to protect the process of storing data on our system and prevent those unauthorized access online. What are firewalls? It is software and hardware that are intended to define, controlling and limit some access of a website or networks.

Besides that, encryption used more and more often nowadays to safeguard our data. Encryption is just like a document such as a sealed letter that the content cannot be viewed by anyone easily, and it needs a specific key to open it.

In addition, some of the users like to put a time out feature to reduce chance of data used by other user by automatically log you off of your current online session after a period of inactivity. For example, with the automated time out feature, if a user went out for a while, the feature will automatically log off the account and prevent other user from using it.

There are still many other ways to safeguard our personal data and I just choose some of the ways to explain. As an online user, we should protect our data more carefully and set the features which suit to our using style to protect your personal data the most. That’s all my blog, want to go out have some drink with friends ~
