The slide is about safety in the cyber world. The plethora of vulnerability the cyber world has unleashed makes a call for a staunch measure towards cyber safety.

1. Cyber Safety

3. We all have been acquainted with one of the
greatest inventions of mankind, the Internet.
The Internet is an astounding place.
It contains information about every topic the human brain can
fathom.
The amount of data it holds is leagues beyond the imagination of the
mind.

4. BUT

6. • 20% of kids cyberbullied think
about suicide, and 1 in 10 attempt
it.
• 42% of teenagers with tech access
report being cyberbullied over the
past year
• Over 25 percent of adolescents
and teens have been bullied
repeatedly through their cell
phones or the Internet.

7. What is cyber bullying?
• Sending mean messages or threats to a person's email
account or cell phone.
• Spreading rumours online or through texts.
• Posting hurtful or threatening messages on social
networking sites or web pages.
• Stealing a person's account information to break into
their account and send damaging messages.
• Pretending to be someone else online to hurt
another person.
• Taking unflattering pictures of a person and spreading
them through cell phones or the Internet.

9. As the quote goes, “Prevention is better
than cure” so we will as well make an
attempt to go cybersafe so that we don’t
end up opening the ‘Pandora’s Box of the
digital world’.

10. It’s time we
bridge the
digital divide.

12. What could be done?
• Be kind to others and use netiquette (no
flooding, be nice to newbies, avoid using all
caps, and set a good tone).
• Don’t give out personal information online like
PIN, passwords, home address, cell number
• Be strong and stop it early. Don’t stoop to their
level and lash back. Don’t suffer in silence.

14. • Contact your Internet service provider abuse
department. If the problem continues, alert
the local police department.
• If anything makes you feel uncomfortable
online, while gaming or when using your cell
phone, talk with your parents or guardian
right away.

17. Safety on
Social Media

19. • Avoid exchanging pictures or giving out e-
mail addresses and personal information to
people you meet online.
• Never post your personal information, such
as a cell phone number, home number, home
address, or your location on any social
networking site or through mobile apps like
Snapchat or Instagram.

20. • Don’t always trust your newfound online friends.
Remember, the predator waits patiently.
• Make passwords long and strong. Use a combination
of lower and uppercase letters along with symbols.
• Links in email, tweets, posts, and online advertising
are often the way cybercriminals compromise your
computer. If it looks suspicious, even if you know the
source, it’s best to delete or if appropriate, mark as
junk email.

24. The Internet has eased out our
lives remarkably but at the same
time, has also opened a few doors
to malice.
So, it’s our duty to keep those
doors locked
