Online safety and Security

Internet safety, or online safety, is the knowledge of maximizing the
user's personal safety against security risks to private information and property
associated with using the Internet, and the self-protection from computer crime in
general.

How Safe are You?

Let us visit each item and see how risky it is to share them.

TYPE OF INFORMATION RISKS

1. First name There is a risk in sharing your first
name. Chances are, a hacker may
already know plenty of stuff about
you even if you only give out your
first name.

2. Last name If sharing your first name is a

small risk, having both your first
and last is more risky. You will be
vulnera- ble to being searched for
using search engines, which
include im- age search. Matching
a name and a face is a modus to
several cyber-
crimes like identity theft.

7
3. The name of your mother and Risky, yet not as risky as posting their full
father names, especially your mother’s maiden
name. In fact, you may have already
encoun- tered many websites that require
your moth- er’s maiden name as an answer
to a secret question whenever you lose
your password.

4. Your address Hopefully, you answered no to this one.

Giv- ing the internet your number is one
thing; giving them your address is a whole
other level. It would be much easier for
criminals to find you.

5. Your home phone number This shared information is more risky than
sharing your personal phone number.
Scams usually use this information to
deceive you, one of which is when a
stranger pretends to know your parents or
pretend to be you.
