Online Safety
How do you stay safe online and protect the things that matter most? Don't give someone the keys to your life!
| Be Careful What You Share | How Do You Know That? |
|
Think before you post it. Once something is online it’s not in your control. |
Don’t post photos of where you live. Profiles can tell anyone about you.Your birthday is your special day, but someone else can use it to help steal your identity. Keep your personal information private. |
| Use a Complex Password | Don’t Meet People You Don’t Know |
|
Choose something hard for someone to guess. Mix up numbers, letters and characters. Invent your own code to safeguard your password. |
Not everyone online is who they say they are. Don’t accept a friend request from someone you don’t know. |
