The Dominican Republic is expected to remain under rainy conditions until Friday due to the combined influence of a trough and the remnants of Tropical Storm Dolly. ^[1] The Multiple Banks Association (ABA) in Santo Domingo published recommendations for users to adopt greater security measures when making online purchases and using digital payment platforms. ^[2] For Tuesday afternoon, a trough located to the northwest of the country will bring sufficient moisture to cause cloudy skies, moderate to strong localized showers, thunderstorms, and wind gusts. ^[3] Indomet indicated that weather alert levels are expected to decrease in the next 24 hours, which may lead to the discontinuation of alerts for some localities. ^[4] The Dominican Institute of Meteorology (Indomet) stated on Tuesday that atmospheric conditions are expected to improve significantly by the end of the week, specifically by Friday and Saturday. ^[5] The ABA suggests that users verify a website is secure by checking that the address begins with 'https' and displays a closed padlock icon, indicating encrypted information transmission. ^[6] The ABA warns users not to share confidential banking information such as the CVV, token, PIN, or other banking keys during a purchase transaction. ^[7] The association recommends using reliable payment gateways that have security measures and, when applicable, request authentication mechanisms like a PIN or a one-time password (OTP). ^[8]
