RANCES Senior High School Teacher Il, Baa0 NHS.OBJECTIVE/S: The learners... 1. apply online safety, security, ethics, and etiquette standards and practice in the use of ICTs as it would relate to their specific professional tracks CS_ICT11/12-ICTPT-la-b-2 * name the various online threats; + identify the online safety measures; and * consider one's and others’ reputation when using the Internet.What’s In? From the previous lesson, we've learned that there are three versions of Web Technologies: Web 1.0, Web 2.0, and Web 3.0. Further, we said that as the world of ICT continues to evolve, the industry has developed several innovations that cater to the needs of the people whether it is for business or personal use. These trends in ICT in today's generation focuses on technological convergence, social media, mobile technologies, and assistive media.The internet has radically changed the way people interact with the world. They have accounts on different online platforms; some have unlimited Internet access, and some are active users of the web. Yet along this opportunity are the new risks or threats that the Internet may bring. Hence, online safety or Internet safety is an emergent concern for childrenWhat’s New? Most of us use the Internet every day. Sometimes, we do not pay attention to how much information we share online. Identify which of the following information you have shared online and list down your answers on the separate sheet of paper.First Name Last Name Middle Name Address Mothers Name Fathers Name Name of your Siblings cellphone number Birthday Home Phone numberHow many information you have shared? You probably shared the first two items. If that is the case, try using a search engine like Google then type your first and last name. Did you get links to your profile page? Try switching to image search. Did your pictures appear?If you have a unique name, chances are, it did. Do not feel bad if it did not appear though; in fact, it is probably for your best interest not to have pictures of yourself in a search engine. So how did these things happen? How can search engines locate me? Is there any danger of being found by search engines?What is It? Online Safety and Security The Internet, truly, is a powerful tool. It can be used to promote your business, gain new friends, and stay in touch with the old ones. It is also a source of entertainment through games, online communities, and everything in between. But like most things in this world, there is always “other side of the coin”.The internet is one of the most dangerous places especially if you do not know what you are doing with it. But there is no need to worry; it is never that late. Hopefully, by the end of this lesson, you can consider how you go about your use of the Internet. Let us go back to the previous activity. Let us visit each item and see how risky it is to share them.Type of information First Name There is stil a risk in sharing your fst name.

But having it in your profile makes you vulnerable to ‘entity theftThe Internet is defined as the information superhighway. This means that anyone has access to this highway, can place information, and can grab that information. This is why social networking sites like Facebook continue to improve their security features. The threat of cybercrime is very real. Whatever information we share today could affect our future.Tips to Stay Safe Online The Internet is a public place and it is up to you to protect yourself. Here are some tips to help you stay safe when using the internet.Be mindful of what you share online and what site you share it to.2 Do not just accept terms and conditions; read it.(3) Know the security features of the social networking site you use. By keeping your profile private, search engines will not be able to scan your profile.oS Do not share your password with anyone.© Avoid logging in to public networks/Wi-Fi. Browsing in “incognito (or private) mode will NOT protect you from hackers.Do not talk to strangers whether online or face-to-faceNever post anything about a future vacation. It is similar to posting, “Rob my house at this date.”Add friends you know in real life.Avoid visiting untrusted websites.Install and update an antivirus software on your computer. Use only one anti-virus software to avoid conflicts.If you have Wi-Fi at home, make it private network by adding a password.Avoid downloading anything from untrusted websites.Buy the software, do not use pirated ones.Do not reply or click links from suspicious emails.Make Online Purchases from Secure Sites.Most people would dispute that there is no such thing as private over the Internet and they may be right. Some hackers can find a backdoor even if your profile is already set to private. You have no control whoever is looking at your friend's screen whenever they open your profile or chat with you.Internet Threats Here are some of the threats you should be aware of when using the Internet: 1.

It was taking forever for pages to load and even normal things like writing an email or writing a Word document would take a long time. | didn't think too much of it ‘cos my computer was getting pretty old and | had heaps of stuff on it. But then my home page got changed to some free download site and when | checked my internet settings | found that they'd all been changed. But things kept on getting worse. Whenever | went online to the internet | got bombarded with pop-ups and, like, my computer would just crash and | would have to manually reset it.Then things got really serious. | couldn't log-in to my email account and | discovered that someone was using my internet banking. | had anti-virus software installed onto my computer but it just wasn’t picking up anything. What | didn’t realize at the time was that when I'd downloaded this free program a couple of months ago, a smaller program downloaded and installed itself onto my computer. But, | had no idea.This Spyware program monitored all my internet activity and the keylogger recorded all the keystrokes | made on the computer such as my log-in, my passwords and all the emails | sent to my mates. It then sent all this information to the software developer. | ended up taking my machine to a computer specialist who was able to find and remove all the spyware. | had to contact my bank and my ISP to change my account details.You know, even free stuff comes at a cost nowadays and | know it sounds corny, but if it's too good to be true then it probably is. Before | download anything now | make sure there’s no adware or spyware associated with it and | read the user agreement statement. There are websites online that, sort of, help you out with this and can offer great reviews and advice on the program and company that you're downloading from.
