In order to feel safe on the Internet, you need to follow a few simple rules. Remember that your safety depends only on yourself. And it's better to protect yourself on the Internet before any trouble happens.
Instructions
Step 1
Do not give your real name, surname, or other information on the Internet. Filling out all kinds of questionnaires and registering on sites, think about whether it is really necessary to leave real data? Maybe you can limit yourself to a pseudonym? The same goes for mailboxes. Especially if you create a mailbox only for registration confirmation. Communicate anonymously on the forums. Do not mention any personal data in the process of communication. Use backup mailboxes to register on random forums.
Step 2
Do not post personal photos on the Internet. Even if you do not indicate your real name, you can always be recognized by the picture. Remember, the internet is accessible to everyone. Including for employers.
Step 3
Under no circumstances should you indicate your home address anywhere on the Internet. Be careful with the placement of the phone number as well. After all, using it, you can, if necessary, establish your identity. You may be running some kind of serious business online. Then leaving contact information: mailbox, phone numbers is a necessity. But in this case, one must not forget about caution.
Step 4
Do not meet in reality with people whom you know only from communication on the Internet. These are not empty words. Crime chronicles are occasionally replenished with notes about the consequences of such meetings. Even if it seems to you that you know your virtual interlocutor well, remember that anyone can be hiding behind a nickname.
Step 5
Do not post to free access and do not transfer files that contain personal information and data about you to outsiders. The pages of serious sites where you have to leave personal information have additional protection. For example, the official websites of banks.
Step 6
If you have already managed to "inherit" on the network, make a search query on the personal information that you supposedly left about yourself. Delete all found data.
