Online stocks to pay attention to safety

Recently, as the stock market continued to hot, making more and more new investors into the stock market. According to the relevant department statistics, at present, every 13 Chinese people have 1 stocks, daily A-share account number added 300,000, China has entered the "all Shares" era.

And the online stock market with its "convenient transaction, information, and closely follow the price, auxiliary analysis system strong" and other characteristics become the preferred way of stock stocks. But according to experts, due to the majority of shareholders lack of basic protection awareness and measures, so that online stocks face great security risks.


Security experts, these vulnerabilities are mainly in the user's own computer, banks, securities companies, the system is relatively safe, and hackers often take the following means to attack users.

First, online fraud (also known as phishing)

The so-called "online fraud", is the hacker to achieve a normal site almost identical to the fake site, while applying for a similar domain name with the normal site. When the user input the wrong URL, it will be introduced to the false site. Once the user enters his or her own account and password in this bogus website, the information will be hacked.

At the same time, some viruses infect the user's computer will also eject the fake window, luring users to enter secret information, to achieve the same purpose.

Second, the use of viruses, Trojan attack

2006, rising total interception of new virus 230,000, of which about 90% of the virus is directly or indirectly to obtain economic benefits for the purpose of writing, of which there are a large number of network banking, online securities system to write the virus.

The basic principle of this type of virus is "stealing and not destroying", so it has a great concealment. After the user's computer infected with this type of virus, there is no obvious attack characteristics, the user is almost unaware of the virus infection, and these viruses are quietly running in the background, when users log into the network bank, the securities system automatically record the input information, and tell the information sent to hackers.

Third, guess the password

Many users of the password set is very simple, using "123456" or birthday as a password for a lot of people. There are also users who are afraid to forget their passwords and write them in a Word document, and anyone who uses their computer can see his password. These all give the hacker the attack to bring convenience.

In this regard, security experts put forward the "online stock of the seven major points of attention":

First, the anti-virus software must be installed and to upgrade at least once a day.

Currently, there are hundreds of thousands of new viruses. To deal with these new viruses, it is necessary to upgrade the antivirus software three times a day. Users only upgrade anti-virus software in time to effectively kill these new viruses, so security experts recommend that users upgrade at least once a day antivirus software.

Second, must open the anti-virus software real-time monitoring and personal firewall

Some users lack the necessary security protection knowledge, in the face of anti-virus software found virus attacks are often overwhelmed, and some users feel anti-virus software and firewalls often pop-up prompts information more trouble, simply shut them down. All these have facilitated the hacker's attack.

Third, use the Network Banking Professional Edition with USB key to trade

Typically, the network banking Professional Edition is more secure than a browser-based version of the Internet bank, so it is recommended that users install a professional version of the network banking system for trading. New users as far as possible with USB key encryption Hardware Professional Edition, this Professional edition will be generated by the hardware key, and the key can not replicate USB hardware, thereby greatly improving the degree of security, such as China Merchants Bank's "excellent KEY", ICBC's "USB key" and so on.

Four, to the official website of securities companies download stock software

Some of the informal web site of the software is hacker attacks, put the virus, Trojan risk, therefore, users in the use of stock software must be from the Guotai, Citic Securities, such as the official website download.

Five, make full use of rising Personal firewall "password protection" function

Rising unique "Trojan wall" technology can prevent viruses, trojans steal users online banking, online securities software account and password, even if the user's computer infected with the new unknown virus, also can play a protective role. The application of the technology in the rising Personal firewall "password protection" module, users install Personal Firewall, directly online banking, security software shortcuts to "password protection" can be.

Set a more complex password

The simple password is easy to hack, therefore advises the shareholder friend not to use the birthday, the telephone number, the numbers or similar "123456" and so on has the obvious rule password. Also, the password for the stock account and the bank account should not be kept on the computer.

Seven, try not to in the Internet cafes and other public computers on the stock

Because the public computer security precautions are not high, often there will be viruses, Trojans, which all bring risks to the online stock. If this type of computer must be used, the computer must first be searched before the transaction is carried out, and the transaction system must be withdrawn after the transaction is completed, so as not to cause loss of stock and account funds.
