interconnected computer networks that uses the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to
communicate between networks and devices.
The World Wide Web
The World Wide Web is an information system on the Internet that allows
documents to be connected to other documents by hypertext links, enabling the user
to search for information by moving from one document to another. It was invented
by Tim-Berners Lee. The World Wide Web browser software, such as Microsoft's
Internet Explorer/Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Apple's Safari, and Google Chrome,
let users navigate from one web page to another via the hyperlinks embedded in the
documents. These documents may also contain any combination of computer data,
including graphics, sounds, text, video, multimedia and interactive content that runs
while the user is interacting with the page. The Web has enabled individuals and
organizations to publish ideas and information to a potentially large audience online
at greatly reduced expense and time delay.
Types of Web Pages
Web 1.0 or The Web. It is the first stage of the World Wide Web evolution. It
is a flat or stationary page since it cannot be manipulated by the user.
Web 2.0 or The Social Web allows users to interact with the page, the user
may be able to comment or create a user account. Most website that we visit
today are Web 2.0.
Web 3.0 or Semantic Web. The semantic web provides a framework that
allows data to be shared and reuse to deliver web content specifically
targeting the user. Search Engine will learn about you and your habits from
each search you perform and will gather details about you from your previous
activities like likes and social postings and present the answers as per your
preferences.

EXPERIENCE can "click" on an image to enlarge it or find out more
information)
USER the owner of website is not the only one who is able to put
PARTICIPATION content. Others are able to place a content on their own by
means of comments, reviews, and evaluation.
LONG TAIL services that are offered on demand rather than on a one-time
purchase. This is synonymous to subscribing to a data plan
that charges you for the amount of time you spent in the
Internet, or a data plan that charges you for the amount of
bandwidth you used.

Lesson 2.2: Kinds of Online Threats
There is no doubt that you need to be vigilant online. As the World Wide Web
evolved over the years, many internet predators have been playing on vulnerabilities
to attack computers and retrieve sensitive data from individuals. Half the time, we
aren’t even aware it is happening until it is too late.
Online threat is deemed any malicious act that attempts to gain access to a
computer network without authorization or permission from the owners. These are
usually done by computer hackers who uses the World Wide Web to facilitate
cybercrime. Web threats use multiple types of malware and fraud, all of which utilize
HTTP or HTTPS protocols, but may also employ other protocols and components,
such as links in email or Instant Messaging apps, or any malware attachments on
servers that access the Web. They benefit cybercriminals by stealing information for
subsequent sale and help absorb infected PCs into botnets. Web threats pose a
broad range of risks, including financial damages, identity theft, loss of confidential
information/data, theft of network resources, damaged brand/personal reputation,
and erosion of consumer confidence in e-commerce and online banking.
The following are the top kinds of online threats that you should be aware of:

23
Internet robots are also known as spiders, crawlers, and web bots. It is a
software application that is programmed to do certain tasks. Bots are
automated, which means they run according to their instructions without a
human user. Some bots are useful, such as search engine bots that index
content for search or customer service bots that help users. Other bots are
"bad" and are programmed to break into user accounts, scan the web for
contact information for sending spam, or perform other malicious activities. If
it's connected to the Internet, a bot will have an associated IP address.
24
Spams are unsolicited emails, instant messages coming from recipients that
are not granted verifiable permission for the message to be sent. Spam
messages can be damaging if you open or respond to it.
Cyberstalking refers to the use of the internet or other electronic device to
harass or stalk individuals or organizations.
25
Spoofing happens when someone or something pretends to be something
else to gain our confidence, get access to our systems, steal data, steal
money, or spread malware.
