What is ‘spyware’ and what does HSBC do to protect Internet Banking users from ‘spyware’?
Spyware is a malicious program that third parties can attempt to download onto computers to fraudulently view information that you input to site. Internet Security software helps prevent third parties from downloading malicious software onto your computer. Ensure you have the latest version of anti-virus and firewall protection installed on your computer at all times and download updates regularly. HSBC’s Online Security Device provides protection against spyware by generating a constantly changing Security Code.
