Protect yourself against online security threats. We'll help you.

by Compliance on May 21, 2007 12:26 PM

Simple steps can go a long way.

We are often asked about online security and what we do to protect accounts, especially with recent media reports about online fraud in the brokerage industry. optionsXpress is focused on prevention and detection, but our biggest hurdle is teaching our customers about the simple steps they can take to help prevent online fraud.

We've assembled some tips on our site, including checking your account routinely, changing passwords on a regular basis, keeping your computer platform and anti-virus software up-to-date, and most of all, staying informed about the latest internet hazards like "pharming"

The steps above take just minutes, but they could save you hours of time and many headaches in the long run.
