How to save yourself from Online Banking Frauds

Online Banking Frauds are making news now a days. Most of the non-tech savvy people don't activate their net banking due to their fear of net banking frauds. Only the correct knowledge about internet banking and the correct way to use it can remove this fear. Most the online banking frauds occur due to ignorance of the user and mishandling of user access information like User-ID and Password.

• Use the correct website for Online Banking: In some cases of online banking fraud, user used the incorrect website (or Phishing website) for internet banking. For example, you wanted to open website of ABC Bank , which is abcbank.com -- but instead of opening that website you typed abvbank.com and a similar banking website opens and you use your used-id and password on it. Due to such foolish things your access information is stolen by some smart hacker who designed that similar looking website with almost similar domain name. Your one misspelling of that website name can lead you to something inappropriate for you. You can protect yourself from such things by just using bookmarks feature in your browser. Save your netbanking website name in your browser bookmarks and access it through those bookmarks instead of typing it yourself.
• Use some sort of Internet Security: There are a number of Antivirus available in the market that also provide internet security. These security softwares alert you, when you go to some phishing website. These security software also protect your system from some computer viruses which can target the sensisitive information stored on your computer.
• Don't save your netbanking passwords in your computer: Saving your netbanking password on your computer is a bad practice. It might save your time in logging into the website but it makes your access information vulnerable to others. If some tech-savvy person use your computer for a few minutes, he/she can easily copy that information. Some computer virus can also copy such information and send it to some other people without even sharing your laptop/desktop with somebody else. In such case antivirus software might help you, but its better not to store such information on your PC.
• Change your Password at a regular Interval: Changing your netbanking password at a regular interval is a good habit to be more secure. Even if somebody has stolen your old password , he/she will not be able to use it anymore.
• Keep you password in your Brain: Its better not to write your password anywhere else except your brain. But still if you think that you will not be able to remember it, then store it at a place which is not accessible by others and easily accessible by you. Know how to choose a secure password.
• Only shop through reputed websites: Online shopping is trending now a days. Try to go for Cash-on-delivery (COD), but when its comes to making payment online first check the reputation of shopping website before making any payment. If its a reputed website only then choose the option of online payment.

How to make your Password more Secure and Unpredictable

In modern electronic world password is the key to your life. A good password not only secures your social networking but also secures your online banking transactions. Every banking website asks its users to choose a password which is unpredictable by others. Here we will tell you a few important things which will help you in deciding your password.



Before we go for deciding a password, its better to know what should not be your password.

• your name
• your date of birth
• your social security number or any other ID number
• your car / bike registration number
• date of birth of your spouse, kids, parents
• name of your spouse, kids, parents
• The word "password"
• Series of numbers like "123456789" or "0000000000" or "111111111"

The above mentioned passwords are one of those which are easily predictable and anybody trying to get access to your account will try them. So its better not to use them and if you have already used them then now is the time to change them.

Now here are a few tips to improve the security of your password by making it unpredictable. We will use the password "password" and try to make it more secure.

• Use Capslock : While generating a password you can use capital letters in it to make it more secure. Fore example "PASSword" is more secure than "password". In most of the cases password are case-sensitive, so this feature should be used in any way. Example : "PaSwOrD" .
• Use Special Characters: You can sue special characters like @,#,$,& to make your password unpredictable. These characters can be inserted anywhere in your password. For example "p@$$word" is better than "password".
• Use numbers: Just like special characters, numbers can also be used to make your password unimaginable. For Example "Passw0rd" is a better variation of "password". Just by changing a "o" to "0" , i to 1, B to 8, are a few variations that can be used in a password. You may also add numbers in the beginning, end or middle of passwords.
• Use All of the Above: If you use all 3 tricks listed above in the same password then that password will be completely unpredictable. For Example "p@s$W0Rd" is much more safer than "password" or any other variations listed above. 

Note: Don't use the passwords generated on this page. Use you own brain to generate your own passwords. Don't ask anybody else to help you in choosing a password for you.

Just choosing a right password is not surety of your online transactions being safe.

How to use your own icons in Google My Maps

This article shows how to use your own icons to label places in maps that you make with the My Maps' feature in  Google Maps.

My Maps is a tool provided by Google Maps that lets you make a map showing a specific collection of places.

Why is this helpful?   Well, you can search for a collection of places in regular Google Maps, and share the maps you can see - but if you do this, other people will see different places that are marked on the version of the maps that Google shows them, not the same as the places that are marked for you.    To guarantee what set of places other people see, you need to make a map in My Maps, and then you can share this specific map.

My Maps provides a standard set of icons that can be used for labelling places - and these days it's a pretty impressive standard set.   But it still doesn't include numbers, letters or other labels - and the icons provided may not be styled the way you would like.

Luckily Google have provided a way for you to use any icon to label points on a map you make.

How to use your own custom icon in a My Maps map

Make your map, and add the place(s) you would like to attach a custom icon to.

In the bar on the left hand side, hover your mouse over a place-marker which you want to assign a specific icon to.   

The line for that item will highlight slightly, and a small colour / paint-tipping icon appear will to the right of the place description, like this:

Click on the paint-tipping / colour icon

This opens a small hover-window, where you can choose the colour or icon shape.

Click the button at the bottom labelled More Icons.

On the pop-up that opens, you are able to select an icon from one of the categories available (currently Business, Crisis, Facilities and services, Points of interest, Recreational Activities, Transport, and  Weather).   Don't select any of these.

Instead, at the bottom of the screen, enter in the URL (ie website address) of a  file that you want to use as a marker.  (.jpg  .png  .bmp, and .gif   files can all be used).

Click Add Icon.

This adds the picture that you linked to the list of items available under Custom Icons, and selects it.

Click Ok to apply this icon to the point-marker that is being edited.

Job done!   Your map now has a marker that is made from your own image.

Things to be aware of / Troubleshooting

• You need to load the image file to a file-host which handles picture files yourself:   there is no option to load a file directly from the More Icons tab.

• The image file needs to stay, unchanged, in the place where you linked to - and that place has to be available to anyone who might look at the map: if you are sharing the map with "anyone in the world" then the markers need to be available like that, too.

• The image file should be small to speed up loading time:   images in the set of markers I use are approx 2k each.

• Markers will be displayed in the same small size as Google's markers, ie 32x32 pixels:   there's no point using a large, detailed photograph if it will shrunk down to so tiny that the details can't be seen.

• You must provide the actual URL of the picture you want to use as a marker, not the Google Photos shareable link.   (Because the latter includes more than just the photo).

• I don't know any way to bulk-load many custom icons into a My Maps map at the same time.   (There was a way to do this in the old Google Custom Maps, but this doesn't work in My Maps.)    Or to make one icon available to many / all your your My Maps at once.   If you have a solution for this, please leave a comment below.

• If you your icon background to be transparent, then you need to create it in RGB colour mode: Icons with a transparent background created in Indexed colour mode don't work.
