Staying Safe Online
Here are some tips to help you stay safe online:
- Never give out your personal information online
- Do not make online connections on social networking sites such as Facebook and Bebo if you are unsure who the person is
- Online friends are best kept online, meeting strangers can be very dangerous
- People may not be who they say they are
- Be wary of opening files from people you don't know, they could contain a virus or unsuitable content
- Be careful about what you write on your friends profiles for everyone to see, it is better to send them a private message telling them where you are going or personal things
- Most social networking websites have privacy settings that you can change to make sure only your friends can see your profile
