| Use Caution Away from Home |
|
You may face additional security risks when you’re online away from home – whether you’re on a public computer or an unsecured network. Consider taking these additional precautionary steps when you’re away from your home base.
- Don’t go public. Think twice about using public computers, particularly for anything confidential. Be aware that even computers in legitimate business centers may contain malicious software.
- Always log out. If you do use a public computer, make sure to log out of your Hartford Funds account. You can also clear the browser’s cookies and clear the cached files from the browser before closing the browser (refer to Help for your browser for instructions).
- Update before you go. Using your laptop is more secure than using a public computer, but make sure to update your anti-virus software, browser and other software before going out.
- Use only networks you can trust. Because some wireless networks in public areas have reduced security, your information may be vulnerable. If you’re unsure of the security of a wireless network, don’t use it for conducting confidential business, such as accessing your Hartford Funds account.
