The IRS and the Security Summit partners remind people to take these basic steps when shopping online:
Use security software for computers and mobile phones – and keep it updated.
Make sure anti-virus software for computers has a feature to stop malware, and that there is a firewall enabled that can prevent intrusions.
Use strong and unique passwords for all accounts.
Use multi-factor authentication whenever possible.
Shop only secure websites; look for the "https" in web addresses and the padlock icon; avoid shopping on unsecured and public Wi-Fi in places like coffee shops, malls, or restaurants.
