SECURE PURCHASE

To make sure a page is secure, it is not enough to check if a server certificate exists; in other words, the presence of a closed padlock in your browser's address bar is not sufficient.

For your security, pay attention to two fundamental details:

1. When clicking on the padlock, check if the displayed certificate was issued to the same address as the page you are on.

2. Check the certificate to see if it was issued by a trusted certification authority.

To issue a Server Certificate, companies carry out rigorous data validation to verify ownership of the domain for which the certificate will be issued. If the requesting company does not own the domain, it must present a power of attorney from the owner authorizing the management of the digital certificate for that domain.

Other, second and third-level, certification authorities issue server certificates without any process for validating domain ownership data.

Do not trust a certificate issued by a certification authority without public recognition, as it may be cloned or issued by a third party for improper use, leading to criminal acts.

Ten tips to avoid mistakes when shopping online 

Shopping online is certainly very convenient, but it requires caution, since the entire transaction is virtual. Following a few tips will help you avoid headaches at the end of this year. Check them out and happy shopping!

1) Is it Christmas? Buy in advance and choose carefully to avoid exchanges. The delivery time must be informed by the store before closing the order, thus ensuring that the purchase will arrive on an appropriate date, considering Christmas.

2) Be wary of products with prices excessively below the average;

3) Keep emails issued by stores, payment receipts, invoices, or any other document or communication regarding your purchases;

4) Check the opinions of people who have already used the service of the store you are interested in. On sites like ‘Reclame Aqui’, ‘Buscapé’, ‘Bondfaro’, and ‘e-bit’, you can find customer reviews;

5) Verify if the online store provides a phone number, physical address, registration number, legal company name (Razão Social), and the company's name. It is a security measure in case you need to obtain information or even lodge a complaint after the purchase;

6) Look for the security padlock in the address bar. This symbol indicates the use of an important feature for more secure transactions;

7) Research the quality and reputation of the store. In many cases, it is possible to consult registered complaints and the companies' responses to them on the store's own website;

8) Be careful with fake emails and sites that may lead to files containing viruses;

9) Avoid making purchases from public computers — at an internet cafe, for example;

10) Take care of your computer's security. Keep your operating system and antivirus up to date.
