Are Your Investment Accounts Safe From the Plague of Hackers?

October 31, 2016 By E.J. Smith

It’s the last day of Cyber Security awareness month, and hopefully you have spent some time considering the state of your current cyber-risks. Are your passwords strong enough? Are the systems you’re using secure? Are the people you’re working with competent enough to protect your data? Here, Fidelity gives investors a checklist of their own to focus on improving cyber security.

Online security is a shared responsibility. We believe that having a close partnership with you helps keep you safe, which is why we encourage you to enhance our security measures by taking some actions on your own:

• Create a strong password
• Look out for suspicious emails
• Boost your login protection
• Browse with vigilance
• Monitor your accounts
• Take precautions at home

E.J. Smith is Founder of YourSurvivalGuy.com, Managing Director at Richard C. Young & Co., Ltd., a Managing Editor of Richardcyoung.com, and Editor-in-Chief of Youngresearch.com. His focus at all times is on preparing clients and readers for “Times Like These.” E.J. graduated from Babson College in Wellesley, Massachusetts, with a B.S. in finance and investments. In 1995, E.J. began his investment career at Fidelity Investments in Boston before joining Richard C. Young & Co., Ltd. in 1998. E.J. has trained at Sig Sauer Academy in Epping, NH. His first drum set was a 5-piece Slingerland with Zildjians. He grew-up worshiping Neil Peart (RIP) of the band Rush, and loves the song Tom Sawyer—the name of his family’s boat, a Grady-White Canyon 306. He grew up in Mattapoisett, MA, an idyllic small town on the water near Cape Cod. He spends time in Newport, RI and Bartlett, NH—both as far away from Wall Street as one could mentally get. The Newport office is on a quiet, tree lined street not far from the harbor and the log cabin in Bartlett, NH, the “Live Free or Die” state, sits on the edge of the White Mountain National Forest. He enjoys spending time in Key West and Paris.
