CYBER AWARENESS
Cyber awareness means knowing how to keep your computer safe and secured and also protecting our personal information while being online. Many people today are facing threats that they may or may not be aware of. In order to save ourselves from cyber crime, the first thing we can do is to be aware of cyber crime. The first thing we can do to protect ourselves from internet is not to share any of your personal information, which includes your address, which school you go to, your phone no., etc. Some people provide excess of personal information with anyone on social networking sites . which can be very dangerous for them. We need to learn what information is appropriate and can be shared and what needs to kept private. On social networking sites,we need to use private setting for any important number and keep them secret even with the people you trust especially your credit card, debit card, and phone number. If someone has your password, they can be pretending to be you online which I am sure you won't want to happen. Someone who knows your credit card number can use your credit card to purchase anything they want, that's really dangerous as the person is spending your money.
The second thing we can do to protect ourselves from the internet is that we need to know who are we dealing with online. We might not even know how the person is like in real life or what he or she is going to do next.
So try to spread this message to all of your relatives and friends and stay aware.
