Online Safety, Security and Netiquette

Online safety refers to the practices and precautions that should be observed when using the internet
to ensure that the users as well as their computers and personal information are safe from crimes
associated with using the internet. Below are personal information that must be kept confidential.
There are numerous delinquencies that can be committed on the internet such as stalking, identity
theft, privacy violations, and harassment. To avoid these online crimes, follow the following online
safety measures: Never give any personal information out about yourself over the internet.

Do not give any banking or sensitive information unless you are sure that it is a reputable business
having a secure service. To make sure that you are in a secured network, the website address should
begin with “https://’ as opposed to “http://”. Never access your accounts by following an email link,
instead type your URL by yourself.

Never open messages or attachments from someone you do not know.

Regularly review your privacy settings in your online accounts to make sure you are
not sharing important personal information.

When using a public computer terminal, be sure to delete your browsing data before
leaving.

Keep your software updated to avoid security holes.

Do not download or install software or anything on your computer or cell phone that
is unknown to you.

Netiquette is a combination of the words network and etiquette. It is a set of rules for behaving
properly online. Below are the 10 rules of netiquette:
 Flame war is a series of flame posts or messages in a thread
that are considered derogatory in nature or are completely
off-topic. Often these flames are posted for the sole purpose
of offending or upsetting other users. The flame becomes a
flame war when other users respond to the thread with their
own flame message.

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:
Phishing happens when an email is sent from an internet criminal disguised as an
email from a legitimate, trustworthy source. The message is meant to lure you into revealing
sensitive or confidential information.

Pharming happens when a hacker (or “pharmer”) directs an internet user to a fake
website instead of a legitimate one. These “spoofed” sites can capture a victim’s
confidential information, including usernames, passwords, and credit card data, or install
malware on their computer. Pharmers usually focus on websites in the financial sector,
including banks, online payment platforms, or other e-commerce destinations.
