In this technological age, much of the work we do is online. Our computers and various websites hold important information that can be accessed by hackers and viruses. If we don't take proper precautions, we can be victims of identity theft, predators, unwanted adds, phishers, spam, and pornographic materials. Some ways to avoid these online threats include:
~don't click unknown links and downloads
~make sure your computer has firewalls, anti-virus software, and programs like Ad block Plus
installed
~back up your work
~know who you're talking to and "adding" as a friend on facebook, etc.
~use secure passwords and don't use the same password for all websites
~don't have important info. kept online: credit card #s, social security numbers, etc.
~know what to do if your identity has been taken or someone has hacked into your accounts
BE SMART, SAFE AND SECURE!
