​​CONNECTION

The Internet is defined as the information superhighway. This means that anyone has access to this highway, can place information, and can grab that information. The more information you share online, the higher the risk.

Tips to Stay

Safe Online

TIPS TO STAY SAFE ONLINE​

• ​Be mindful of what you share and what site you share it to.

• Do not just accept terms and conditions; read it.

• Check out the privacy policy page of a website.

• Know the security features of the social networking site you use.

• Do not share password with anyone. Treat your password like a toothbrush. Don’t let anybody use it and get a new one every six months.​

TIPS TO STAY SAFE ONLINE​

• Avoid logging in to public networks/Wi-Fi. One of the biggest threats with free WiFi is the ability for hackers to position themselves between you and the connection point.

• Do not talk to strangers whether online or face-to-face.

• Never post anything about future vacation. You are inviting the burglar to rob your house at that date.

• Add friends you know in real life.

• Avoid visiting untrusted websites.​

TIPS TO STAY SAFE ONLINE​

• Install and update an antivirus software on your computer. Use only one antivirus software to avoid conflict.

• If you have a Wi-Fi at home, make it a private network by adding a password.

• Avoid downloading anything from untrusted websites. Some websites carry malwares that can infect your computer.

• Buy the software; do not use pirated ones.

• Do not reply or click links from suspicious emails.

​​CONNECTION

It is your responsibility to secure your information online because there are hackers who can find a backdoor even if your profile is already set to private. A hacker may steal information to hurt people via identity theft, damage or bring down systems and, often, hold those systems hostage to collect ransom.

Netiquette

​​netiquette

It is short for "internet etiquette." Just like etiquette is a code of polite behavior in society, netiquette is a code of good behavior on the Internet.

10 rules of ​​netiquette

• ​Avoid posting inflammatory or offensive comments online (a.k.a flaming).

• Respect others' privacy by not sharing personal information, photos, or videos that another person may not want published online.

• Never spam others by sending large amounts of unsolicited email.

10 rules of ​​netiquette

• Show good sportsmanship when playing online games, whether you win or lose.

• Don't troll people in web forums or website comments by repeatedly nagging or annoying them.

• Stick to the topic when posting in online forums or when commenting on photos or videos, such as YouTube or Facebook comments.

10 rules of ​​netiquette

• Don't swear or use offensive language.

• Avoid replying to negative comments with more negative comments. Instead, break the cycle with a positive post.

• If someone asks a question and you know the answer, offer to help.

• Thank others who help you online.

​​CONNECTION

The Internet provides a sense of anonymity since you often do not see or hear the people with whom you are communicating online. But that is not an excuse for having poor manners or posting incendiary comments. While some users may feel like they can hide behind their keyboard or smartphone when posting online, the fact is they are still the ones publishing the content.
