Internet Security 

Stay alert when browsing. Avoid public Wi-Fi for banking, verify URLs, and use secure connections.  

• Verify Secure Connections: Always check that “https” and a padlock icon precede the website address before entering banking and personal information. If you don’t see these, the connection might not be secure, and your data could be at risk. 

• Direct Access to Bank Websites: Access the Bank’s official websites securely by typing the address directly into your browser instead of clicking links in emails or SMSs. Visit: 

• • https://www.bankofcyprus.com/ 

• • https://online.bankofcyprus.com/ 

• Refrain from using public Wi-Fi to access your Internet Banking or utilize your mobile device network to connect to the Internet.

• Limit Personal Information Sharing: Avoid sharing excessive personal information on social media platforms to protect your privacy. 

• Secure Your Home Network: Use a strong and unique password for your home Wi-Fi network. Change the default administrator password of your router to a strong, unique password. 

• Protect Smart Devices: Change default passwords on all smart devices (IoT) connected to your home network to prevent unauthorized access.
