Canadian High Interest Savings Bank Accounts

1) Use Private Browsing to log into your bank account so that the browser cleans up traces such as cookies and such when you are done.
2) Avoid logging in from a tabbed window because it makes your session vulnerable to cross-scripting attacks from sites that are open in your other tabs.
3) Always type the bank's online website into the address bar or recall it from a bookmark to ensure that you are on the right site.
4) Only log into your bank account from a machine that you trust, not at an internet cafe or library, unless you are using an OS on USB stick that takes over the machine as kilarney describes. Privatix is a good example of this: http://www.mandalka.name/priva…..ex.html.en

Nice tips.

But here is the one I see a lot. (Andrew, your tips are great but also please note)

My tip is DONT type your bank in the URL bar, but instead use your favorite button or google your bank on other computers, as many scammers have the similar or typo sites with pages that look exactly like the real thing. So on this identical looking site you enter your username and/or password without knowing it isn't the real site.

EX you want AbcBank which URL is AbcDirect.ca but you type AbcBank.ca forgetting the often forgotten Direct in its URL, but beleiving AbcBank must naturally have the rights to this URL, or you type AbcDirect.com instead .ca or AbDirect.ca forgetting a letter, etc

All or some of these erroneous are used by a scammer with IDENTICAL pages to the real site. (Google knows this and prevents scammers from being on their top list)
