 What is It

As our society faces the ‘new normal’, most of our daily tasks now need the
assistance of Information and Communication Technologies. Thanks to the internet,
because we can now meet and communicate with each other online. Paying bills,
buying goods, growing your network of friends and even learning can be done online.
Life now is almost turning to digital media. According to (Preston n.d.), digital media
is any form of media that uses electronic devices for distribution. This form of media
can be created, viewed, modified and distributed via electronic devices. And it is very
important that you not only know how to use and deal with these technologies but it
is necessary to know the different threats brought by the internet and be equipped
on how to keep your private information safe and secure online. Private
information is your sensitive personal information or your identity such as your
username and passwords or bank accounts. Even though the government has
already set a policy, the Republic Act 10173 or the Data Privacy Act of 2012, that
is to protect the fundamental human right of privacy, of communication while
ensuring free flow of information to promote innovation and growth (Republic Act
10173 – Data Privacy Act of 2012 n.d.), it is important to have the knowledge of
maximizing your private information in order to keep it safe and secure is called
online safety or web safety or internet safety. It is also necessary to apply ethics
and etiquette online to avoid problems in facing digital media.

The following are some of the internet threats you need to be aware of:

Email Scam/Junk Mail/Spam Mail - Usually unsolicited

commercial email sent from an unknown source with
identical message sent to multiple recipients. Usually not
dangerous but can be time and space consuming. Dangerous
ones can carry viruses and other malicious software or
malware.

Email Spoofing - is the creation of emails with a forged

sender address. The goal of email spoofing is to get recipients
to open, respond and engage with the email message. Email
spoofing can greatly increase the effectiveness of phishing and
other email-based cyber-attacks by tricking the recipient into
trusting the email and its sender (Tunggal 2019). It is usually
used by spammers to hide the origin of the spam.

10
Phishing – is a deceitful practice of getting your personal
information using email or text messages. Scammers may try
to steal your passwords, account numbers, or Social Security
numbers. If they get that information, they could gain access
to your email, bank, or other accounts (Federal Tr. Comm.
’19)

Pharming - is a scamming practice in which malicious code

is installed on a personal computer or server, misdirecting
users to fraudulent Web sites without their knowledge or
consent. This happened when the code sent in an e-mail
modifies local host files on a personal computer. A computer
with a compromised host file will go to the fake Web site even
if a user types in the correct Internet address or clicks on an
affected bookmark entry (Rouse, Pharming n.d.).

Computer Viruses - are small programs or scripts that can

negatively affect the health of your computer. These malicious
little programs can create files, move files, erase files,
consume your computer's memory, and cause your computer
not to function correctly. Some viruses can duplicate
themselves, attach themselves to programs, and travel across
networks. In fact opening an infected e-mail attachment is the
most common way to get a virus (Christensson, Virus
Definition 2011).

Spyware - is software that "spies" on your computer where it

captures information like Web browsing habits, e-mail
messages, usernames and passwords, and credit card
information. If left unchecked, the software can transmit this
data to another person's computer over the Internet. It can be
installed when you open an e-mail attachment containing the
malicious software. It can also be installed when you install
another program that has a spyware installer attached to it
(Christensson, Spyware Definition 2006).

Pop-ads - a type of window that appears on top of (over) the

browser window of a Web site that a user has visited (Pop-up
Ad n.d.). It is also called as pop-up ads. It can also be used by
hackers to steal your personal information (such as your bank
details). Clicking pop-up ads can redirect you to sites that can
infect your computer and system files (What Causes Pop-up
Ads and How to Remove Them 2019).

11
Hacker - a clever or expert programmer who can gain
unauthorized access to other computers. He can "hack" his
way through the security levels of a computer system or
network (Christensson, Hacker Definition 2006). And can
vandalizes the victims’ website, steals personal information,
obtains intellectual property, and performs credit card fraud.

12
There are also common threats to personal safety. They are the following:

Cyberstalking – is the same as physical stalking by giving

unwanted obsessive attention to a specific person like following,
secret surveillance, persistent and manipulative calling and
texting, and other means of approaching the victim unexpectedly
but cyber stalkers rely on online technology to do it. Email, social
networks, instant messaging, personal data available online –
everything on the Internet can be used by cyberstalkers to make
inappropriate contact with their victims (Andrea 2020).

Cyberbullying - is bullying that takes place over digital devices

like cell phones, computers, and tablets. It can occur through
SMS, Text, and apps, or online in social media, forums, or
gaming where people can view, participate in, or share content.
It includes sending, posting, or sharing negative, harmful, false,
or mean content about someone else like sharing personal or
private information causing embarrassment or humiliation.
Some cyberbullying crosses the line into unlawful or criminal
behavior (What Is Cyberbullying 2020).

Online Predation - is the act of engaging an underage minor into

inappropriate sexual relationships through the internet. Online
predators may attempt to initiate and seduce minors into
relationships through the use of chat rooms or internet forums.
Online predators may try to lure kids and teens into sexual
conversations or even face-to-face meetings. Predators will
sometimes send obscene material or request that kids send
pictures of themselves (Internet Safety for Kids-Staying safe from
online predators n.d.).

Flaming - is the act of saying mean things online, usually in ALL

CAPS, and often in a public forum with the intention to
humiliate.

13
Online Ethics and Etiquette

In order for you to be safe and you can protect your private information while
you are working online, you need to know and apply online ethics and etiquette.

Online ethics focuses on the acceptable use of online resources in an online

social environment. Netiquette is a combination of the words network and etiquette
and is defined as a set of rules for acceptable online behaviour (What is Netiquette?
A Guide to Online Ethics and Etiquette n.d.).

10 Basic Rules of Netiquette

The rules of etiquette are just as important in cyberspace as they are in the
real world (Hartney 2020)

1. Make Real People a Priority

If you are talking personally and face to face with someone, stop browsing or
chatting with anybody else in your cellphone.

2. Use Respectful Language

Avoid name-calling, cursing, expressing deliberately offensive opinions. In
typing, don't use caps lock. Text in all caps is generally perceived as yelling or
flaming which cause misunderstanding and trouble. Please don't forget to say
please and thank you as appropriate.

3. Share With Discretion

Avoid sending naked sexy pictures, drunk pictures, drug use pictures or
unedited home video. If you would have a problem with your boss, your parents,
or your kids seeing it now, or at any point in the future, don't post it online.
Children should not post private information online. Do not also share your
location or picture where you are currently at. Keep your personal information
private.

4. Don't Exclude Others

Don’t let others feel that they are the one you are talking to in your obscure
comment to your Facebook status, forum or Instagram story. And if you have an
in-joke to share with one other person, or a small number of people in a larger
online group, send them a private message.

5. Choose Friends Wisely

It is insulting to be dropped from someone's friend list on a social media
site. So, think about it before sending a friend request or accepting an invitation.
If you don't want to be in touch with someone, don't add them in the first place.
This must be observed by kids or teens so they will not be a victim of online
predation. People sometimes are good in pretending just to get your attention or
use fake accounts.

14
6. Respect People's Privacy
One example is when you send email to multiple recipients, don’t send it
at once, you can send it privately individually or use BCC (blind carbon copy)
rather than CC (carbon copy). The same goes for uploading photos or videos that
include other people because others who are in this photo don’t want to be viewed
by unknown friends. This also applies for tagging people on Facebook because
others don’t want to be tagged. Another example is don't sign up for newsletters
and other communications using someone else's email address. If you apply this
rule, hackers might not have chance to enter and ruin your digital life.

7. Fact Check Before Reposting

If you aren't sure of the facts that you’re going to repost, email it to
someone who does know or can find out. Or do a search on Google or snopes.com.
Because once you’ve reposted a fake news or false facts, many can possibly
believe it and spread once again. Don't forget also that many viruses are
circulated via chain letters and invitations. So forwarding or reposting this kind
of messages will not bring good luck but rather bad luck. Don’t forget to cite the
owner of the post or where it came from. And before posting, check whether it is
appropriate or inappropriate to others.

8. Respond to Emails Promptly

In doing this, you can easily check whether the emails you received are
spams, unsolicited messages or crafty stuffs and delete these right away. But if
you send your email to your friends or set it as public, then you need to respond
immediately. But double-check where it really came because there are people who
are fond of playing or making fake emails just to get in touch with you.
9. Update Online Information
Don't leave inaccurate information online that will mislead your friends or
your customers if you have an online business. If you have a business website,
update it regularly. Like your operating hours, if you are not available for that
time, change it right away.

10. Think before Click

Don’t hesitate to think before clicking because you might click an unknown
links or files that are likely to contain malware which will infect your devices or
a link to hacker’s website. Think before clicking Like in social media posts
because it might be a suicide post that will end to death because you liked his
suicidal post.
