Did you know that over 9,000,000,000 records in the world have been lost or stolen since 2013? The famous Comeleak incident alone accounted for 77,736,795 in that total number. Thieves, fraudsters and hackers have become ultra-sophisticated these days that even the most cautious companies have become their victims. They are always ready to attack – while you are opening an account, paying your bills or merely surfing the net.
Although there is no guarantee that data breaches will not happen, we can adopt measures to minimize our risk. Sun Life ensures that we have adequate controls to keep your records with us secure. You can also do your share to help us protect your data. Here are some ways:
They may cost you more. Did you know that many hotspots in public areas like airports, hotels and restaurants reduce their security so it is easier for individuals to access and use their networks?
According to a Slovakian IT security company, the recent Yahoo breach revealed that the most common passwords used are”123456″ and “password”. Do not set your name and birthdate as your passwords. Vary your passwords across different websites and change them on a regular basis.
Be wary of fraudulent calls and texts. Most phishing attacks come in the form of calls, emails, posts and SMS that promise you a freebie or a prize in exchange for your personal data!
Do not include personal information such as birth date, mother’s maiden name, contact number and other similar information in your profile. Reconsider changing the setting of your social media accounts especially if they are open to the public.
If your policy contract, policy/account statement or credit/debit card has been lost or stolen, notify the related company the soonest. Be quick to change your password and/or pin or block your card as applicable. Call our Client Care at (02)849-9633 or email us at privacyconcern@sunlifegrepa.com if you believe that your account or information has been compromised.
Do not just toss your policy/account statements and official receipts into the bin. Information contained in these statements, receipts or other documents may be used to enable account take-over or commit fraud.
Let’s outsmart the thieves out there. By not giving an opportunity, there is lesser chance of falling prey to them!
