The Internet, truly, is a powerful tool. It can

be used to promote your business, gain new
friends, and stay in touch with the old ones.
It is also a source of entertainment. But like
most things in this world, there is always
“another side of the coin.” The Internet is
one of the most dangerous places, especially
if you do not know what you are doing.
 Internet Threats:

1. Malware – stands for malicious software

Types: Virus,Worm,Trojan, Spyware,Adware

2. Spam – unwanted email mostly from bots or

advertisers. It can be used to send malware.

3. Phishing – Its goal is to acquire sensitive

personal information like passwords and credit
card details.
 Think Before You Click
1. Before you post something on the web, ask these questions to
yourself: Would you want your parents or grandparents to see it?
Would you want your future boss to see it? Once you post something
on the web, you have no control of who sees your posts.
2. Your friends depend on you to protect their reputation online. Talk
to your friends about this serious responsibility.
3. Set your post to “private.” In this way, search engines will not be
able to scan that post.
4. Avoid using names. Names are easy for search engines to scan.
5. If you feel that a post can affect you or other’s reputation, ask the
one who posted it to pull it down or report it as inappropriate.
If you create something—an idea,
an invention, a form of literary
work, or a research, you have the
right of how it should be used by
others. This is called intellectual
property.
