ING Direct: Security on the Internet

Again through my research of online privacy, I came across ING Direct and found out how companies like this try to protect their customers.  ING provides a section on their website on how customers can protect their identity, both online and in general.  ING goes through various on how to identify yourself, how to properly sign a transaction, how to recognize a suspect screen, what to do if a suspect screen appears, online fraud protection, and how to protect confidential data.  ING states that although their HomeBank is very secure and safe, it is also up to the users to help protect the system.  Users must monitor their computer and their behaviour online.  Users should have updated software and security services, and must be aware of unsafe websites.  ING also goes over deceptive emails, and what to do if you suspect fraud or abuse.  I think it is great how companies provide this information, as many people are completely unaware of this information, and how to strengthen their online privacy.  I think all e-companies and banks should provide this information on their websites.  Here is ING’s link: https://www.ing.be/en/retail/Pages/security.aspx
