Telkom has introduced an online password management tool for its TelkomInternet powered by ADSL and TelkomInternet powered by satellite products.
The service is free and will assist customers in protecting the integrity of their always-available Internet connection. Unlike dial-up services, both ADSL and satellite services are always-available connections which can be exploited by hackers.
"The username and password is the responsibility of the customer and should never be shared with anyone," says Nombulelo Moholi, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer. "I recommend that customers change their password on a regular basis to protect against unauthorised use. The new facility is in response to suggestions received from our customer base which has prompted us to develop a solution that is hosted on a secure server. The online tool will provide you with the convenience of changing your password online as often as you wish. This facility is available on www.telkomsa.net under member services.
"If you are a new customer, we advise you to change your password at your earliest convenience to ensure protection against unauthorised use of your Internet account," Moholi said.
