A lot of people have used the internet to do a lot of harm and bad things to other people. I will try and give your some helpful tips that I found on the web (click here) on how to protect yourself from the bad guys. Tip number uno.
1. Make your stuff as private as possible. I think that the less people know about you, the less they have to hurt you. When you have an option to make something private, DO IT!
2. Don’t share you personal info like your full name or birthday and especially where you live. You don’t have complete control once your info goes public and who knows who’s watching.
3. Don’t share your friends or anyone else’s info either. How would you feel if somebody started giving your info to strangers? A lot of problems on the internet have stemmed from people spreading gossip or giving up private info.
4. Always re-read your posts before posting them. Keep in mind that blogs are very public and what you say can be used against you.
5. Be very careful with the pictures you post. Always keep in mind that future employers will have access to your blog and they will most likely be seeing what kind of a person you are in the cyber world.
6. Always protect your blog as if it were your bank account. Never give out your password and always remember to log out when leaving your device unattended. Keep in mind that a lot of people love to play tricks on people and act like they are them. It could really hurt your name if someone acting as you posted something offensive and everyone that saw the post your blog would only think that you posted it. So be careful!
