Change your PIN from time to time
If you also use a light and simple password, change it immediately. By using a simple password, anyone can easily guess it and then you can be cheated. Avoid using numbers like your date of birth, vehicle number and create a strong password. Apart from this, keep changing your password from time to time so that no one can crack it easily. You can also set security to protect your password. If you are a victim of cyber fraud, change your PIN immediately and contact the bank.
