Online Safety, Security, and Netiquette


Some precautions on sharing per
There are numerous delinquencies that can be committed on the internet such as stalking, identity theft, privacy
violations, and harassment. To avoid these online crimes, follow the following online safety measures:
1. Never give any personal information out about yourself over the internet.
2. Do not give any bank or sensitive information unless you are sure that it is a reputable business having a secure
service. 3. To make sure that you are in a secured network, the website address should begin with “https://’ as
opposed to “http://”. Never access your accounts by following an email link, instead type your URL by yourself.

Below are some ways to find if the website you are opening is legit.

Online Security
The standard definition of online security calls 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.
When you are online, treat the Internet a public place and it is up to you to protect yourself.
Here are some tips to help you stay safe when using the internet.
1. Be mindful of what you share online and what site you share it to.
2. Do not just accept terms and conditions; read it.
3. Know the security features of the social networking site you use. By keeping your profile private, search
engines will not be able to scan your profile.
4. Do not share your password with anyone.
5. Avoid logging in to public networks/Wi-Fi. Browsing in “incognito (or private) mode will NOT protect you from
hackers.
6. Do not talk to strangers whether online or face-to-face.
7. Never post anything about a future vacation. It is similar to posting, “Rob my house at this date.”
8. Add friends you know in real life.
9. Avoid visiting untrusted websites.
10. Install and update antivirus software on your computer. Use only one antivirus software to avoid conflicts.
11. If you have Wi-Fi at home, make it private network by adding a password.
12. Avoid downloading anything from untrusted websites.
13. Do not use pirated software.
14. Do not reply or click links from suspicious emails.

15. Make online purchases from secured sites
