Jason Stitt is the co-founder and client manager of IT FORCE. He outlined the many issues where good and bad forces are trying to access our personal information. The good are trying to find holes in security and fix them. The bad are trying to find the holes and use them to take our money. There are plenty of things we can do from continuing our education with Canadian Bankers Association, using anti-virus software, a password vault, VPN software, multi-factor authentication, and Real-Time transaction notifications. As well, we can check if our email has been compromised by logging on to http://haveibeenpnwed.com/. He also suggested that we create a new email address used only for financial institution. And always tap a credit card and not use the PIN unless there is no choice. And never use public Wi-Fi without VPN protection. Use the data plan. It's safer.
