A vast majority of online banking customers use their login credentials to access other websites, sharply increasing risk of attack to their bank account, Internet security firm Trusteer said on Tuesday.

About 73 percent of Internet bank clients share online banking password with non-financial sites, and 47 percent re-use both, their online banking user name and password, British firm Trusteer said, citing a sample of more than four million users.

So, whatever you do

DO NOT USE THE SAME PASSWORD FOR INTERNET BANKING THAT YOU USE TO LOG INTO OTHER WEBSITES (like GMail, HotMail, etc)

And, if you DO, change your password NOW!

This safety advisory brought to you by the fine folks at… oh, wait, it wasn’t, it was just brought to you by me :P

Be safe!
