ESSAY
Write an essay about how do you protect yourself from different threats from the
internet.

The internet is a network of interconnected computers that are used to communicate with
each other. It is a network of networks that are used to exchange information, and this
information can be sent or received by any computer in the world. But how can I protect
myself from the threats of the internet? This is my answer to that question, there are many
ways I can do to protect myself against the threat of the internet. First, what I will do is I will
not just provide my personal information on the internet if I am not sure if that internet is
secured and has permission because I can be harmed here if I give my personal information,
I can be hacked or scammed using the personal information I provided. Secondly, if I create
an internet account, my password must be strong to prevent hacking because most of their
accounts are now hacked so it is better to have a strong password so that it will not be
accidentally detected. Third, do not go to websites that you do not need and are not
appropriate for your age, because on the internet there are many websites that you should
not go to or click on. And the other ways to avoid internet threats to your self are here: use
an Encrypted Operating System, get smart about smart device security, don't use public
computers, and don't use free Wi-Fi. All these ways are about to protect your privacy. Be
careful what you click on the internet because you can ruin it.
