Information security

Preface
In the information society and the era of globalization, the relationship between people, computers and the Internet is getting closer and closer. Online transactions are becoming more and more popular and they play an important role in economic activities. The use of computer or telecommunications technology to commit crimes in cyberspace is also increasing. The birth of the Internet has indeed brought many convenient ways of working in the business world, although some information security or cybercrime issues derived from it have also brought a greater threat to national social security.

Online Transaction Safety Instructions
Password setting principle
Statement of Principles

When setting the password, please do not use numbers that are easy to be guessed by criminals, such as a birthday, phone number, ID number or a regularly repeated password.

Password Management Principles
Passwords need to be carefully managed
  • You should apply in person and keep the electronic certificate properly (the types of electronic certificate storage media are: magnetic disk, hard disk, IC card, etc.), and do not entrust the certificate with others for safekeeping.
  • Do not share any of your personal passwords with others.
  • Do not write your password down anywhere it can be spotted and can be easily accessed by others.
  • Change your password from time to time.
  • General website passwords should be different from online transaction passwords, to avoid being guessed or stolen.
Browser Usage Guidelines
It is best not to use a browser to trade in public
  • Do not be afraid of the hassle of e-vouchers.
  • If you share your computer with others, do not store your personal password on a browser.
  • Get into the habit of logging out of the Internet immediately after getting up from your seat or completing a transaction.
  • It is best not to use websites with transactional features in public places, such as Internet cafes.
Beware of Phishing
Be careful against phishing
  • Phishing is a commonly used method of online fraud. Criminals will use forged websites, emails or fake identities to log in URLs on major well-known search websites to induce users to use fake URLs and deceive users' personal privacy information (for example: ID number or password, etc.) and commit criminal acts.
