1. Don't respond to any emails that ask you for details of your online
account. If you think it is from the bank itself, call up their customer
care and find out if they have sent out any mails asking to submit the
account details (most probably, they wouldn't have sent any such
communication).
2. Access your account only from your home PC. Yu must definitely avoid
accessing your account from cyber cafes; not even from your friends or
relatives place, since you don't know if the system contains any malware
that may capture key strokes and pass on the details to someone who
controls it without the knowledge of the user.
3. Keep changing pass words as frequently as possible; usually once in a
week or ten days. If, for some reasons, you believe your account has
been accessed without your knowledge, change the password immediately.
Keep unusual page settings and note down the date time you have accessed
the account. If details of date/time of your previous access is
available on the site pl make a note of it.
4. Don't save the user name or password in any other PC's than the one
you use at home. Even here, try keeping the file as discrete as
possible. Importantly, delete such details (even from your email
client), if you are giving your system for servicing.
5. The most important thing is to keep checking and eradicating trogens
and malwares from your system. This may be easier said than done, but
keep your anti-virus programmes up-to-date and if necessary, take the
help of a service engineer to ensure your system is clean.

Subject: [AI] Safety about online banking?
Hi friends, I have just opened an NRI account with ICICI bank. Well,
despite I am not the account holder, it's on someone else's name, but, I
will be the one to access it. As I hear a lot about the crimes on the
internet, I wanted to know, how safe is it to access the account online?
Is there any precautionary measure or any safety guide lines, I can
follow? Awaiting for your valuable advices and thanking you all in
anticipation.
