How to Stay Safe
Online?
Tips to Stay Safe Online
O Be mindful of what you share online and what site you share it
to.
O Do not just accept terms and conditions; read it.
O Check out the privacy policy page of a website to learn how the
website handles the information you share.
O 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.
Tips to Stay Safe Online
 Do not share your password with anyone.
 Avoid logging in to public networks/Wi-Fi. Browsing in
“incognito (or private) mode”, a feature of the browser, will not
protect you from hackers.
 Do not talk to strangers whether online or face to face
 Never post about anything about a future vacation. It is similar
to posting, “rob my house at this date”.
Tips to Stay Safe Online
 Add friends you know in real life.
 Avoid visiting untrusted websites.
 Install and update an antivirus software on your
computer. Use only one anti – virus software to avoid
conflicts.
 If you share a Wi-Fi at home, make it a private network
by adding a password.
Tips to Stay Safe Online
O Avoid downloading anything from untrusted
websites. You are most vulnerable in peer-to-peer
downloads(torrent) as the download is most likely
not monitored by the site owner.
O Buy the software; do not use pirated ones.
O Do not reply or click links from suspicious emails.

Three Types of Phishing

OSpear Phishing
OClone Phishing
OWhaling
Spear phishing
Phishing attempts directed at specific
individuals or companies have been termed
spear phishing.

This technique is, by far, the most successful


on the internet today, accounting for 91% of
attacks.
Clone Phishing
 A type of phishing attack whereby a legitimate, and
previously delivered, email containing an attachment or link
has had its content and recipient address(es) taken and used
to create an almost identical or cloned email.

 The attachment or link within the email is replaced with a


malicious version and then sent from an email address
spoofed to appear to come from the original sender. It may
claim to be a resend of the original or an updated version to
the original.
Whaling
 Several recent phishing attacks have been directed
specifically at senior executives and other high profile
targets within businesses, and the term whaling has
been coined for these kinds of attacks.

 In the case of whaling, the masquerading web


page/email will take a more serious executive-level
form. The content will be crafted to target an upper
manager and the person's role in the company.
Pharming
O a more complicated way of phishing where it exploits
the DNS (Domain Name Service) system
Copyright Infringement
O If you create something – an idea, an invention, a form of
literary work, or a research, you have the right as to how it

your work, and anyone who uses it without your consent is
punishable by law.
