Stop: Before you use the Internet, take time to understand the risks and learn how to spot potential problems.
Think: Take a moment to be certain the path ahead is clear. Watch for warning signs and consider how your actions online could impact your safety, or your family’s. 
Connect: Enjoy the Internet with greater confidence, knowing you’ve taken the right steps to safeguard yourself and your computer.

STOP. THINK. CONNECT. Protect yourself and help keep the web a safer place for everyone.


 

Tip: Connect with Care.

Advice:

  • When in doubt, throw it out: Links in email, tweets, posts, and online advertising are often the way cybercriminals compromise your computer. If it looks suspicious, even if you know the source, it's best to delete or if appropriate, mark as junk email.
  • Get savvy about Wi-Fi hotspots: Limit the type of business you conduct and adjust the security settings on your device to limit who can access your machine.
  • Protect your money `When banking and shopping, check to be sure the sites is security enabled. Look for web addresses with "https://" or "shttp://", which means the site takes extra measures to help secure your information. "Http://" is not secure.
  • REMEMBER THAT THE URL address on the address bar of your internet browser begins with "https"; the letter 's' at the end of "https" means 'secure'.
  • REMEBER THAT the address of the first page of Bank of Baroda’s Internet Banking portal “Baroda Connect” in the address bar must be: https://www.bobibanking.com/  ONLY. s in https indicates “SECURE”

Address Bar

 

  • Look for the padlock symbol either in the address bar or the status bar (mostly in the address bar) but not within the web page display area. VERIFY the security certificate by clicking on the padlock.

  • ALWAYS use Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher. Our site is compatible with Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher only, as of now
  • Bank of Baroda will NEVER send you an E-mail with an embedded hyper-link (A hyperlink is a piece of text or an image in a document or web-page where if you click on with your mouse button you are taken to another document / web-page or another part of the same document / web-page)
  • Bank of Baroda will NEVER call you to authenticate your credentials – User ID, Password, Tracker ID, One Time Password (OTP), Debit Card Number, Debit Card PIN etc.
  • DO NOT click with your mouse on a hyper-link that you may receive through an E-mail or other communication
  • ALWAYS type the address of our web-site (https://www.bobibanking.com) using your computer’s / laptop’s keypad.
  • We RECOMMEND using the VIRTUAL KEYBOARD when entering your credentials, that is when entering your User ID and Password

Tip: Protect Your Personal Information.

Advice:

  • Secure your accounts: Ask for protection beyond passwords. Many account providers now offer additional ways for you verify who you are before you conduct business on that site. Bank of Baroda has introduced two factor authentication for secure log-in and for high risk transactions like funds transfers to third party account within the Bank and outside the Bank.
  • Bank of Baroda encourages you to register your CONFIDENTIAL (NOT NECESSARILY TRUE) ANSWERS TO A MINIMUM OF FIVE QUESTIONS. The answers should be such that they are known to you and you alone. We will randomly ask you to provide these answers for some high risk transactions. Additionally, we may also send you a one time password (OTP) on your mobile for some very high risk transactions. Please bear with us for any inconvenience – this is for YOUR safety and security
  • Make passwords long and strong: Combine capital and lowercase letters with numbers and symbols to create a more secure password.
  • Unique account, unique password: Separate passwords for every account helps to thwart cybercriminals.
  • Own your online presence: When available, set the privacy and security settings on websites to your comfort level for information sharing. It's ok to limit who you share information with.
  • Change your Internet Banking password at periodical intervals.
  • NEVER share or disclose your User ID or Password or Tracker ID or One Time Password (OTP) even if you either receive a call over your telephone or mobile and the caller claims to be calling from the Bank or even if you receive an E-mail that appears to be from the Bank even with our Bank’s logo etc.

Tip: Keep a Clean Machine.

Advice:

  • Keep security software current: Having the latest security software, web browser, and operating system are the best defenses against viruses, malware, and other online threats.
  • Automate software updates: Many software programs will automatically connect and update to defend against known risks. Turn on automatic updates if that's an available option.
  • Protect all devices that connect to the Internet: Along with computers, smart phones, gaming systems, and other web-enabled devices also need protection from viruses and malware.
  • Plug & scan: "USBs" and other external devices can be infected by viruses and malware. Use your security software to scan them.

 

  • ALWAYS keep your computer’s OPERATING SYSTEM (Windows etc.) and the browser (Internet Explorer 5.5 or above) updated with the latest security patches
  • ALWAYS protect your computer with Anti-virus/Anti-spyware software with latest virus definitions/signatures. Scan your computer regularly with Antivirus to ensure that the system is Virus/Trojan free.
  • Always check the last log-in date and time in the post login page.
  • Avoid accessing Internet banking accounts from cyber cafes or shared PCs.
