What is INTERNET?

“ The information superhighway”

This means that anyone has access to this highway, can place information, and can
grab that information.

The INTERNET, sometimes called simply “the Net,” is a worldwide system of

computer networks- a network of networks in which users at any one computer can,
if they have permission, get information from any other computer can,  if they have
permission, get information from any other computer (and sometimes talk directly to
users at other computers

handles the information you share.

your profile private, search engines will not be able to scan your profile.

but may also employ other protocols and components, such as links in email or IM,
or malware attachments or on servers that access the Web
 ROGUE SECURITY SOFTWARE

 is a form of malicious software and Internet fraud that misleads users into
believing there is a virus on their computer, and manipulates them into paying
money for a fake malware removal tool (that actually introduces malware to the
computer).
 PHISHING PHISHING

is the practice of defrauding users into giving up their usernames, passwords, credit
card numbers and other personal information. Phishing emails will often try to get
you to click on links that take you to fake websites; they often pretend to be from
organizations such as a bank, PayPal, Amazon or even Stanford.
 SPAM

 SPAM is unsolicited junk email sent indiscriminately in bulk, often for

commercial purposes. Much of it is sent by botnets, networks of virus- infected
computers, complicating the process of tracking down the spammers. According
to various estimates, about 80% of all email in the world may be spam.

 CYBERBULLYING

CYBERBULLYING is often an extension of bullying outside the internet, and may

take form in many different ways. For example, the malicious user might release
images of the user without his or her consent. Because cyberbullying often stems
from real-life bullying, this is largely a social concern, rather than internet safety.
Cyberbullying occurs more frequently than real- life bullying as the internet often
provides means to carry out bullying while allowing the perpetrator to remain
anonymous and hidden, avoiding backlash in the process
 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. It is debated whether
online predators is actually a threat to internet safety, as many cases take a long time
to develop the relationship. As such, targets of online predators may see the
relationship as a legitimate attempt at romance. 
 OBSCENE/OFFENSIVE CONTENT

Various websites on the internet contain material that some deem offensive,
distasteful or explicit, which may often be not of the user's liking. Such websites may
include internet, shock sites, hate speech or otherwise inflammatory content. Such
content may manifest in many ways, such as pop-up ads and unsuspecting links.
 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 your 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 down or report it as inappropriate.
