9. You should never use internet banking on a computer that is not free of malware (viruses, trojans). That mean, you should avoid doing online banking from public computers because they are often full of malwares. 

10. Also, Never respond to messages like "You have won a lottery! Your card has been blocked! You've got a special bonus" Banks nerve ask customers to share their PIN/Password/MPIN/OTP. Such bogus calls or messages are usually a trap.
