1. DANGERS ON
THE INTERNET

2. FRAUD
■ Done by professionals to
manipulate somebody to gain
money or other riches;

required and pretending to be
somebody else can be easy;
■ Sometimes can be done to find
information about something;

3. HACKING
■ Can breach your computer
security programmes and steal
valuable information;
■ Usually done by a professional to
search for secret, personal
information;
■ Can be used to damage
reputations, spread lies or/and
steal personal information to
blackmail and earn money;

4. CYBERBULLYING

• sending hateful messages or
even death threats to children;
• spreading lies about them
online;
• making nasty comments on
their social networking profiles;
• creating a website to bash their
looks or reputation.

5. PIRACY

illegally;
■ Piracy is punished by jail time in
a lot of countries in Europe;

networks of their peers getting drunk,
passed out, or using drugs;
■ More than 11% of teens are spending more
than three hours per school day on social
network sites;
■ There are a saying: „If it is ever posted on the
Internet, it is there forever“.That means that
if you make a mistake and post something
you did not want online, there is a big
chance that it can stay on the Internet
forever.

7. WAYSTO
PREVENT IT

8. Think twice before
you post something
■ Be aware that photos you post, for example, on
Facebook can be downloaded and then used against you.
■ All employers check social media before they hire
somebody, so any incriminating photos and/or posts can
help decide if they are willing to hire the candidate.

9. Do not give personal
information to anybody
■ Frauds can try to become your friend and then get
personal information from you, so they can use it in
their advantage.
■ The best way to prevent this is to try as hard as
possible not to talk to anyone you do not know in real
life.

10. Change your passwords
regurlarly
■ This simple task can prevent you from getting hacked and
losing valuable documents and money;
■ Strengthen the protection of such things as your bank
accounts by adding extra protections such as extra
questions that only you know the answer and/or fingertip
recognition if possible and necessary.

attention
and stay safe!
