We all can't live a day without the internet facility but have you ever thought that whether your data and the information you are accessing online is secure or not. Here comes the concept of Online Security to prevent a Hacker to Hack into your system to access the secured information that is important to you like online banking passwords. You might even not come to know that with some mail or pen drive you have installed such a program in your computer that is serving as a key logger and sending every information of key hits from your pc to an email id when you connect to internet. Thats why to imrove the online security systems some industries have developed such programs for the websites like e-banking or online shoping so that no one can misuse the system to access your credit card information and withdraw amout. Also to help upon the online security some comapnies have doubled the security by the fact that when you login into the website you have a message from the website owner with some code that you need to enter so as to make transaction.

Always remember phishing of websites is the major threat to Online Secured Systems. You might receive a mail from some wague email id stating some offer and when you click on URL provided you think its the same site you have been using for a long time and you enter your username and password which can be misused by the phished website owner.
