What is the importance of online safety and protecting your information? What do you do to protect yourself online? Share an experience you or someone you know has had with online safety.
It is important to use online safety and protect your information because there are a lot of predators online. These predators are looking for credit card information, social security numbers, banking information, and any personal information. If a predator receives personal information like this he/she can potentially harm your personal life and even your loved ones.
In order for me to protect myself online I am very careful on which websites I give my personal information and especially banking information. I make sure the website is well trusted before I give any information at all. An experience in my life i had with online safety is some random person sent me an email which offered me a free lab top. At first the deal seemed really convincing because almost no personal information was required to be given. Later i found out that the email secretly downloaded a key logger onto my computer. I had to completely reset my computer to get rid of the key logger.
