Your
transactions are absolutely safe. MidCarolina Bank Online
Access works with cutting edge technology partners to
ensure that the most secure environment is made possible
for our valued customers. We offer you worry free Internet
banking. You can be completely confident of the following
security measures:
Secure
Communications
Our system ensures that data exchanged between your
PC and our computers is encrypted with 128-bit encryption-the
strongest encryption available. Encryption is accomplished
through Secure Sockets Layers (SSL), which utilize mathematical
formulas to "encrypt" or hide information
from prying eyes on the Internet. Additionally, if SSL
detects that data was added or deleted after you sent
it to the bank, the connection will be severed in order
to guard against any tampering. The most popular browsers
have the SSL security feature built in. How can you

Secure
Environment
Our computer system does not connect directly to the
Internet. It is isolated from the network via a "firewall".
A firewall is a combination of software and hardware
products that designate parameters, control and limit
the access that outside computers have to the banks
internal network and databases. You can feel secure
knowing that our firewall protects your personal information
from unauthorized access.
Secure
Login
User ID's and passwords are isolated from the Internet
by being stored on MidCarolina's computer. This way
the passwords and ID's can never be accessed or downloaded
by anyone on the Internet. Additionally, user passwords
can vary from five to ten characters, which means the
chance of randomly guessing a password is less than
one in 1 billion! The system also checks for invalid
logins and automatically disallows a user after three
invalid attempts. This prohibits the "hacker"
from gaining access to our system thus protecting your
accounts.
Your
Password
You will be responsible for maintaining one of the most
important security measures, your password. When you
receive your MidCarolina Bank Online Access password,
be sure to keep it a secret. Memorize it, or write it
down and keep it in a safe place. It is not recommended
you carry your password in your purse or wallet. Make
sure no one watches you enter your password and always
close your browser when leaving the computer. Make sure
you regularly scan your computer for viruses that could
be used to capture password keystrokes. You ultimately
hold the key to your password security. Not even a bank
employee knows your password. |
