Internet Safety

We all know we need to stay safe while using the Internet, but we may not know just how to do that. In the past, Internet safety was mostly about protecting your computer from viruses. But as of now, the Internet's vast reach, constantly changing technologies, and growing social nature have made users more liable to identity theft, privacy violations, and on some occasions harassment. When it comes to the Internet, people generally believe they are safer than they actually are. We tend to have an it-won't-happen-to-me attitude. But it’s just the same as if you went to the mall, you don’t just leave your car unlocked or give out you SS number. So why is it any different online?
