There are some really simple things you can do to ensure your details are safe and secure online. Take a look through our easy tips to ensure you are using divinetattooz.com safely and securely.
Passwords
-
Think of passwords as keys. Use a different one for each account, as if it is stolen it can be used to take over all your accounts.
-
Make it strong by using a mixture of upper and lower case letters, numbers and special characters. The longer it is, the better.
-
Avoid using personal information, dictionary words and consecutive numbers as these can be guessed.
Consider using a passphrase. For example, choose a song or phrase and take the first letter of each word, substitute in numbers and special characters. e.g. Tx2l*hIwwUR (decrypts as "twinkle twinkle little star how I wonder what you are").
Phishing scams
-
If it seems too good to be true, then it probably is.
-
Scams come in many guises; be it social media, email, phone calls, etc. Be suspicious if you are offered a deal, service or prize, especially if you are required to make a payment or provide personal details. Often the deals are only available for limited time periods, forcing you to make an instant decision.
-
There is an internet fraud practice known as 'phishing' which is the illegal gathering of personal information by deception. Fraudsters pose as a trusted source (like your bank), and try to get you to divulge your personal details.
-
If you suspect that you have received a fraudulent email:
-
Don’t click on any links or attachments, and check the sender's address.
-
Report a phishing email that appears to be from British Airways by sending it to divinetattoozuk@gmail.com (please note that we cannot enter into correspondence over emails sent to this address, therefore you will not receive a reply)
-
Legitimate emails from British Airways will not have been sent from a web-based mail server such as gmail, hotmail, yahoo, etc. In addition, we will never request money payments through a third party or promise you any kind of cash prize.
