vmPrinters Internet Security Technology
We understand the concerns on security from customers when they
transact over the Internet. We have therefore built a security system
for online banking that safeguards the confidentiality of our
customers' account information and their banking and other
transactions.
We employ several different methods to protect customers' account and
personal information:
Firewalls
We have, in place, multiple levels of firewalls between our internal
computer systems and the Internet.
Encryption
Strong encryption protects customer information as it travels over the
Internet. We use the 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption to
protect the confidentiality of customers' account details and
transaction data. This 128-bit SSL encryption is the commercially
available security protocol for encrypting or scrambling data
transmitted over the Internet. It is also currently recognized
internationally to be of the highest standard in encryption technology
commercially available and is generally adopted by banks in Singapore
and financial institutions worldwide.
Username and Password
Only your valid Username and Password which identify you uniquely,
will allow you to log in to our secure web site(s). This ensures that
messages from authorized users only are admitted into our secure
site(s).
Automatic Log Out
As an additional security measure, our system may log you out of your
Internet session if there is no activity after a specific period. We
are committed to constantly monitor our Internet security system for
potential situations that could compromise security or the privacy of
our customers. In addition, we are committed to continuously explore
new technology to enhance our Internet security system.

your password keystrokes and other personal information and send them

completed your Internet transactions or even when you need to walk
away from your computer for just a minute. Do not leave your computer
unattended while Internet transactions are being processed.
Clear Your Browser's Cache
Default files on a computer, sometimes called 'cache' files, can
retain images of data sent or received over the Internet, making them
a potential target for a system intruder. Therefore, we strongly
advise that you clear your browser's disk cache after each Internet
session.
Select 'Tools' from the Menu bar (if you are using IE 5)
Select 'Internet Options'
Select 'General' tab
Click the 'Delete Files' button under Temporary Internet Files and
answer 'OK'
Click 'OK' to exit the dialog box
Avoid Sharing Personal Computers (PCs)
Avoid using shared PCs or public PCs such as those found in cyber
cafes to perform Internet transactions. If there is a need to do so,
kindly satisfy yourself thoroughly that the PCs are free from viruses
and be sure to clear the browser's cache when you have completed your
transactions.
Update
Your Browsers
You should update your browsers and application software to support
128-bit SSL encryption or a higher encryption standard.
Inform Us Immediately Of Suspected Invasion Of Your Privacy Or Of
Unauthorized Transactions
If you suspect that your privacy has been invaded or that your
account(s) has/have been accessed by unauthorized persons, please
change your Password immediately and contact us by calling the direct
hotlines for the respective services. Check your account statements to
see if any transaction has been performed without your authorization.
Should there be any unauthorized or unusual transactions, please
notify us immediately.
You should check your account statements regularly and notify us
promptly of any errors. At the minimum, you should check your account
statements at least once at the beginning of each month.
E-Mail Security
As information submitted via e-mail is not encrypted during
transmission, it is important that you do not indicate your account or
credit card number nor convey any confidential information or banking
or other instructions in your enquiries and/or comments.
Additional Recommended Good Practices To Safeguard Your Online
Security
Remove file and printer sharing in your computer, especially when you
have Internet access via cable modem, broadband connection or a
similar set-up.
Make regular backup of critical data.
Consider the use of encryption technology to protect highly sensitive
data.
Do not install junk software or run programs of unknown origin.
Delete junk or chain emails.
Do not open email attachments from strangers.
Do not disclose personal, financial or credit card information to
little-known or suspect websites.
Do not use a computer or device which cannot be trusted.
Spyware is an emerging internet security threat. Advertised as a means
to improve internet connection speed and gain other benefits, some
spyware, when installed, redirect and reroute the internet connections
of users through the spyware servers. Communication traffic and
customer transactions routed through such servers are susceptible to
unauthorized access and disclosure. As a result, customer PINs,
passwords, usernames, credit card numbers, account identifiers,
financial transactions and other confidential data might be exploited.
Customers are advised to regularly scan and protect their computers
from spyware, keystroke loggers, viruses, worms and trojan horses
using updated anti-spyware/anti-virus software and firewalls. |
