When on the Internet, remember to never share you personal information online with strangers. Doing such an action can lead to your account being hacked, personal pictures being posted online, and other account passwords being hacked as well. Where you live can be shared online which can be very dangerous.

Remember to be careful of what you share online and to change your passwords every 6 months. You should have different passwords for each of your accounts. Make the passwords unique with capital & lowercase letters, symbols, and numbers.

Useful ways to stay safe on the Internet:

  1. Beware of unknown free WiFi

  2. Don’t share passwords with anybody

  3. Change passwords every 6 months

  4. Deactivate old or unused accounts

  5. Create strong and unique passwords for accounts

  6. Use different passwords for each account

  7. Ask permission before downloading something

  8. Never share personal information online

  9. Use letters, symbols, and numbers when creating a password

  10. Never meet up with a stranger you’ve met online
