Using the internet in public

Take special care out in the world

You can never be certain about the security of public wireless networks or computers in public places - such as hotels, libraries or internet cafes.

It's recommended you do not access your online banking account in such situations. Preferably, restrict your online activity to viewing a minimum number of sites over a short period of time.

Handy hints

  • Never change your security details while using a public wireless network or a public computer
  • Never provide your account details to any third parties - such as online shopping sites - while using public facilities
  • Always be aware of the activities of those around you and ensure you log out properly from your online session when you're finished
