The world wide web is like the freeway: if you decide to get into it you have to assume your responsibility,i.e.if you decide to be connected you have to be aware of all the consequences. It is simple to protect yourself against malicious activities. The ways to be secure in the insecure internet are as follows:
1-Never open an email attachment from an unknown person.
2-Never follow a link sent by a stranger.
3-If it is too good to be true, it is probably not true.
4-Download antispyware like Avast; many of them have free versions.
5-If someone is going to send you an email with an attachment, tell him to put a code in the subject and text you the code first.
6-If you see a picture that you like online, make a screenshot of it instead of downloading it, and then crop it.
7- Shop online safely. This means to make sure you see not only HTTP before the website but HTTPS, the S means secure. If you borrow someone else's computer, phone, or go online in a public computer, make sure before you log in that you don't SAVE your password. After you are done make sure you follow this:
Settings, Privacy, CLEAN BWOSING DATA.
A good password should have at least 8 characters. Here are some weak passwords: 1234, ABC, 1b2b3c, John-2000,etc.Hint "these passwords are just a Santa Claus's gift." A good password should look as follows: Im#1nl@v$ means,"I am number 1 and love money" it is simple and something you can remember but hard to be hacked.
Finally, we believe if you observe all these steps, it doesn't mean that you will be unbreakable, but it will be
difficult for your password to be compromised.
