Chapter 5 - Finance, Health and Fitness

When it comes to personal finance, more people use the Internet to do online banking, transactions and paying bills.  But this leaves the opportunity for Internet theft.  So it is very important to keep your passwords private. Also checking often to make sure that there are no discrepancies with any transactions.  You need to police your usage of any financial activities that you conduct and always make sure that the site is a secure one.  People are using the Internet to research health issues, such as Webmd. However, it should be your responsibility to make sure that you are visiting a site that accredited by the URAC or HONcode.  These organizations read, view and evaluate the sites for accuracy.  The same rules should be applied when viewing fitness and health sites.  Just because they say you should do something, doesn't mean that you can based upon your health and well being.  You should always consult a physician.
