What steps can I take to secure my personal information on e-commerce websites?

1. Use strong, unique passwords for each e-commerce website account. Consider using a password manager to create and store complex passwords.
2. Enable two-factor authentication if the website offers it. This adds an extra layer of security to your account.
3. Be cautious when sharing personal information online. Only provide necessary information and avoid sharing sensitive details unless required.
4. Verify the website’s security features. Look for ‘https://’ in the URL and a padlock symbol indicating a secure connection.
5. Keep your devices and software up to date to protect against vulnerabilities.
6. Use secure payment methods like credit cards or PayPal, which offer buyer protection.
7. Be wary of phishing emails or links that may lead to fake websites designed to steal your information.
8. Avoid using public Wi-Fi networks when making online purchases as they might not be secure.
9. Regularly monitor your financial statements and report any suspicious activity to your bank or credit card provider.

10. Consider using a separate credit card with a limited credit line for online shopping to minimize potential losses in case of fraud.
