Online Safety Rules

Introduction

Hi! I’m Donald the Duck and I’m here to share
some internet safety tips on the internet.
I am here to tell you about cyberbullying which
can happen to you.

Tip 1. Keep personal information professional

and limited

• Customers or employers don’t need to know your personal

relationship status or your home address

• They need to know about your expertise and professional

background and how to get in contact with you

• Don’t post any personal information online such as your mobile

number

• Never give out your passwords

Tip 2. Keep your privacy settings on

• Marketers and hackers love to know your private information

about you

• Both can learn a lot from your browsing and social media usage
• Make sure you have enabled these privacy safeguards, and keep

them enabled

• Both web browsers and mobile operating systems have settings

available to protect your privacy online

• Keep them as high as possible

Tip 3. Practice safe Browsing

• Cybercriminals use lurid content as bait
• They know people are sometimes tempted by dubious content

and may let their guard down when searching for it

• Where on careless click could expose personal data or infect your

device with malware

Tip 4. Make sure your internet connection is
secure

• Your vulnerable endpoint is your local internet
connection

• Make sure your device is secure, and when in doubt wait
for a better time

• Watch your Wi-Fi connectivity

Tip 5. Be Careful what you download

• Don’t download apps that look suspicious or come from a
site you don’t trust

• Downloading from unreliable sources can give you viruses,
adware, and spyware

Tip 6. Choose strong passwords

• Never give out your passwords
• Passwords are one of the biggest weak spot in the whole

Internet security structure, but there's currently no way
around them
• A strong password is one that is unique and complex-at
least 15 characters long, mixing letters, numbers and
special characters

Tip 7. Make online Purchases from Secure Sites

• Think before you click
• Know the scams
• Shop safely
• You need to provide credit card or bank account

information-just what cybercriminals are most
eager to get their hands on

Tip 8. Be Carful what you post online

• Think carefully about what you say before you
post something online

• Never give out your passwords
• Think carefully before posting pictures or videos

of yourself

Tip 9. Be careful who you meet online

• Don’t befriend people you don’t know
• Remember that not everyone online is who they say they are
• Don’t meet up with people you’ve met online
• Fake social media profiles are a popular way for hackers to

cozy up to unwary web users and pick their cyber pockets

Tip 10. Keep your Antivirus Program up to date

• Install a firewall
• Keep up to date
• Protect your info
• Internet security software cannot protect against

every threat, but it will detect and remove most
malware
