How To Avoid Risks In Online Stock Trading

online Stock speculation With the characteristics of "convenient and fast transaction, large amount of information, keeping up with the market and supporting the powerful analysis system", etc. Investors? The first choice for stocks. However, according to experts, because most stockholders lack basic protection awareness and measures, online stock trading is facing great security risks.

Rising safety experts say these vulnerabilities are mainly in the user's own computer. Negotiable securities The system of a company is relatively safer. Hackers often take the following measures to attack users:

Online fraud (also known as phishing). The so-called "online fraud" means that hackers create a fake website which is almost the same as the real website, while applying for a domain name similar to the real website. When the user enters the wrong web address, he will be introduced into the false website. Once the user enters his account and password on this fake website, the information will be stolen by hackers. When a user's computer is infected by some viruses, it will also pop up a fake window to entice users to input their own information to achieve the same goal.

Virus and Trojan horse attacks. In 2006, a total of 230 thousand new viruses were intercepted by rising star. About 90% of the viruses were written for direct or indirect economic benefits, including a large number of viruses written for online banking and online securities systems. The basic principle of this kind of virus is "only to steal without destroying", so the concealment is very strong. Users' computers are infected with this kind of virus without obvious attack characteristics. Users can hardly perceive virus infection. These viruses run quietly in the background. When users log on to the network bank and securities system, they automatically record the input information and send them to the hacker. {page_break}
 

Crack the password. Many users' passwords are very simple. There are many people who use "123456" or "birthday" as passwords. Some users write them in Word documents in order to guard against forgotten passwords. Anyone can see his password by using his computer. All these bring convenience to hacker attacks. In this regard, rising safety experts put forward eight points for attention:

First, anti-virus software must be installed and upgraded at least once a day. The number of new viruses intercepted every day is hundreds of thousands. In order to deal with these new viruses, Rising antivirus software routinely upgraded three times a day. Only by upgrading virus killing software can users effectively kill and kill these new viruses.

Second, we must open real-time monitoring and personal firewall for anti-virus software. Some users are often at a loss when they encounter virus attacks when they encounter anti-virus software because they lack the necessary knowledge of security protection. Some users feel that anti-virus software and firewalls are often troublesome to eject information, and simply shut them down. All these have brought convenience to hacker attacks.

Third, install Kaka Internet security assistant. Users can use the software on the rising card website (http://tool.ikaka.com). Kaka assistant has the function of preventing network fraud. When users accidentally open the fake network bank and online securities website, they will automatically intercept and prompt. Kaka's exclusive "IE leakproof wall" module also prevents most viruses from intruding into the user's computer through browser vulnerabilities.

Fourth, use USB KEY's Internet banking professional version to trade. Because the professional edition of Internet banking is more secure than the browser based version of the Internet bank, it is recommended that users install professional version of the Internet banking system for transactions. New users should try to use the hardware professional version with USB KEY encryption. This professional version is generated by hardware, which greatly improves the security, such as China Merchants Bank's "excellent key", ICBC's "USB KEY" and so on.

Fifth, download the stock trading software to the official website of the securities company. Some stocks on irregular websites have the risk of being attacked by hackers. Therefore, users must download the software from Guotai Junan, CITIC Securities and other official websites.

Sixth, make full use of the "password protection" function of the rising personal firewall. The unique "Trojan horse wall" technology can prevent viruses and Trojans from stealing user accounts and passwords on Internet banking and online securities software, even if users are infected with new unknown viruses, they can also play a protective role. The technology is applied to the password protection module of the rising personal firewall. After installing the personal firewall, users can directly add the shortcut of online banking and security software to "password protection".

Seventh, set more complex passwords. Simple passwords are easy to be cracked by hackers. It is suggested that friends of investors should not use birthdays, telephone numbers, house numbers or similar "123456" codes with obvious rules. The passwords of stock accounts and bank accounts can not be stored on computers.

Eighth, try not to buy stocks on public computers such as Internet cafes. Because the security measures of public computers are not strict enough, viruses and Trojans often exist, which will bring risks to online stock speculation. If such a computer is to be used, it is necessary to check the computer before conducting online transactions. After completing the transaction, it is necessary to withdraw from the trading system so as to avoid unnecessary losses.
