Protecting Yourself Online

Online security starts with you!

As your financial partner, we take every measure possible to protect you from fraud. But you and your computer are the front line of defense. In just a few simple steps, you can help keep your computer—and your finances—safe.

1. Secure your passwords

In general, a good password should:

• Not be based on personal information that can be easily guessed (your pet’s name, birth date, etc.)
• Not be a word that can be found in any dictionary of any language.
• Contain at least 8 characters with numbers, punctuation and both uppercase and lowercase letters.
• Not be the same as any password you use for anything else.

And remember, always memorize your password and do not write it down. Old National strongly recommends changing your passwords every 45 days.

Old National will NOT ask your for your online ID or password by telephone OR by email!

2. Secure your computer

There are certain precautions you should take to keep your computer safe from viruses and hackers.

• Keep your operating system and browser up to date.
• Use up-to-date anti-virus software.
• Use a personal firewall.
• Activate a pop-up blocker.

3. Be aware of spyware

Spyware is software loaded on your computer without your knowledge. It collects personal information about you and your Internet browsing habits in order to launch pop-up ads or change the configuration of your computer.

Check your system regularly for spyware. Several third party vendors provide anti-spyware applications you can download, some free of charge.
