Data breaches are common these days and it becomes difficult when it contains sensitive and financial information such as credit, debit card details, password etc.

In order to protect yourself here are few things which you can consider-

1 - Change your password regularly and don’t use common and easy to guess passwords.

2 - Add 2 Factor Authentication with OTP or Google/Microsoft Authenticator.

3 - Disable International Transaction on your Credit/Debit Cards if you don’t use them often.

4 - Set Daily Transaction Limit on your Credit/Debit Cards, it will save you from unnecessary trouble.

5 - Use UPI for small and day to day transactions.

These (3 and 4) can be easily set via your Bank's Internet or Mobile Banking Platforms.

Also check if your credit or debit card support fraud liability covers, in most cases bank will refund the unauthorised transactions.

For large transactions, use credit or prepaid cards. They offer better security in case of any fraudulent event.
