The purpose of the Website Security Policy is to establish rules for preserving the integrity, availability, and authenticity of medicaleshop.com.
Choose a Strong Password
To protect your password, it's important to change it periodically and keep your password private, since anybody who knows your password may access your account. We recommend changing your password every 30-60 days.
Use at least 8 characters. While not required, adding numbers or special characters to your password will make it even stronger. For example, the password "cloudy!%" is a much stronger password than "cloudy". Choose an original password. Do not use the same password that you use on other sites, including your email provider. Actively monitor all your accounts, including your email provider, for unauthorized or suspicious activity. Avoid passwords that are easy to guess. These include passwords such as "secret password," "password," "abc123," or "123456." They also include things like a dictionary word, your name, e-mail address, or other personal information that can easily be obtained.
Protect Your System
Some suspicious e-mails contain attachments and links to websites that try to install malicious software on your computer. Do not click on such links.
Here are some ways to protect your system, devices, and wireless network:
- If you've entered your password on what you think might be a malicious website, go to Forgot Your Password and change it immediately.
- If you've entered your credit card information on what you think might be a malicious website or replied to an email with that information, immediately contact your credit card company.
- Install antivirus or anti-malware software from a reputable company.
- Keep security software up-to-date by installing updates and patches as soon as they are available.
- Do not install software that you do not need or that comes from unverified sources. Ignore urgent pop-ups that tell you your devices are infected with a virus and that you must click a link to fix the problem.
- Do not leave your devices unattended in public places. Select the option to manually, not automatically, connect to WiFi.
- Disable hotspots when not needed.
- Change the name of your wireless network and any pre-set passwords provided by the vendor, even if the name and password seem complex.
