As Internet fraud has increased, it has become more and more important for all of us to take extra steps to safeguard our personal financial information.

We are pleased to announce that we have made arrangements with Trusteer Rapport to provide you with state-of-the-art desktop fraud protection software - at no cost to you. This quick-install software which doesn't require you to close your browser or restart your computer, protects your computer from potential fraudulent activities while you are on SiebertNet or any other Trusteer Rapport-protected site.

Once installed, an opaque "box" appears on the upper left of your computer screen for about five seconds each time you visit a Trusteer Rapport-protected Web site. This lets you know your computer is protected while on that site from identity theft and financial fraud attacks like "keylogging", "phishing" and others.

If you are a Siebert client and would like to download the software, simply login and visit "eSecurity". You will find the link to the right of the Symbol Lookup for Quick Quotes at the top of your SiebertNet screen.

Siebert clients must log in to download Rapport. To learn more about threats from which you may be protected, visit Trusteer Rapport FAQ. Please note: You cannot download Rapport from the Trusteer Rapport FAQ.
