She suggests six preventive measures, including stopping the storage of credit card information, using encryption tools, regularly checking bank statements, and enabling two-factor authentication, to protect personal data and credit card security.

Experts remind that storing credit card information on websites while shopping online makes it easy to become a target for theft. Although online shopping offers convenience, it also comes with cybersecurity risks. A chief strategist from a cybersecurity service company pointed out that the habit of saving credit card information can easily be exploited by cybercriminals, and thus provided six recommendations to enhance protection. The suggestions include stopping the storage of credit card information, using encryption tools to save passwords, and enabling two-factor authentication, among others.

According to reports, while storing credit card information is convenient, the methods used by cybercriminals are diverse and often result in unauthorized charges occurring without the victim's awareness. The expert mentioned that criminal groups may invade systems by stealing electronic products, utilizing public Wi-Fi, embedding malicious programs into applications, hacking accounts, leaking data, and other methods to obtain credit card information. Additionally, hackers may employ credential stuffing attacks, using account passwords from one website to attempt login on other platforms, identifying the same users to steal from.

• Stop storing credit card information
• Use encryption tools to store passwords, such as Apple Wallet
• Regularly check bank statements
• Enable two-factor authentication (2FA)
• Install reputable antivirus software
• Be cautious before downloading or clicking on unknown files and links

If you still find it convenient to store credit card information while shopping online, it is recommended to store no more than one credit card, making it easier to detect suspicious transactions, and to leverage the security features of credit cards to prevent funds from being stolen from bank accounts.
