The potential for the internet
to be a valuable and a fun
resource for entertainment,
making friends, keeping in
touch and learning is

fraud or something more
serious.

9. Some precautions on sharing personal information online
Type of Information Risks
First Name
There is still a risk in sharing your first name.
Chances are, a hacker already knows plenty
of stuff about you even if you only give out
your name. You cannot just walk in a room
and start introducing yourself to everyone.
You now know whom you can come across
with.
Last Name
If sharing your name is a small risk, having
both your first and last is riskier. You will be
vulnerable to being searched for using
searched engine, which will include image
search. Matching a name with a face can
lead to several cybercrimes like identity
theft.

about yourself over the internet.

17. Online Security
The standard definition of online
security call it the mix of rules
that are followed and actions
that are taken to make sure
online user data and privacy
aren‟t compromised by
cybercriminals.
Online security can be something
as complex as a system that‟s
designed to prevent credit card
theft, or something as simple as
you using antivirus software to
protect your device from
malware and viruses.

stay safe when using the internet.

share online and what site
you share it to.

When you are online or using the
Internet, keep in mind that the
whole world is looking at you.
People or netizens as what we call
those persons present online, are
there to react or participate
positively or negatively.
Some of these netizens behave
the way you treat them.

31. !
Your words or moving animation are
enough for them to cause actions.
While many believe the law “do not do
unto others what you do not like them do
unto you”, it is safe to follow what is “safe”
and proper manner even if you are not
facing these netizens in real time.

32. !
Like begets like and it would be
nice to stand up after doing stuff
online without harming others.
