Maintaining security on the InternetIntroductionSecurity on the Internet is very important: it is a place where anything can happen and, if you are not careful, damage can actually occur, such as theft of identity, theft of banking information and physical harm.Social sitesTeenagers are most at risk when surfing the Internet because on average they use it more than anyone else; Social sites are where you are most at risk, for example MySpace, Twitter, Bebo and Facebook. People who want to harm you in any way use these websites and pretend to be someone they are not, and by pretending to be your friends, they may try to convince you to give them your personal information. It is very important not to fall for it because they could do the same thing with up to 50 people at a time. You have to keep in mind that everything you post on the Internet stays on the Internet, because when you do, virtual copies are created by various people and websites. One thing you have to be careful about is that posting images of yourself on the Internet allows anyone to know what you look like, you also need to pay attention to what's in the background, for example, if you took a photo in front of your house you might be able to see the house number and street name. When you sign up to a social website you should always check what privacy settings are there, so you can block any information you don't want people to see. Instant Messenger Instant messaging is almost the same as social websites but with some differences like , a person must have your email address before he can contact you; the dangers are always the same. So make sure you only give your email address to people you trust, because it's the main place... middle of paper... all of the above, most people should be able to keep themselves safe internet but you must keep in mind that it is very easy to fall into a trap set by someone who has decided to harm you. It is also very important that if you meet someone you met on the Internet, that you meet in the middle of the day, in a public place, where there are a lot of people and that you bring a friend with you so that you can always stay safe.BibliographyResearch based on IThttp ://www.chatdanger.comhttp://www.getnetwise.orghttp://www.google.co.ukhttp://www.childline.org.uk/Explore/OnlineSafety/ Pages/CyberBullying.aspx?gclid=CMzTz5vAgp0CFZoU4wodOi0trwhttp ://www.isafe.org/channels/sub.php?ch=op&sub_id=media_cyber_bullyinghttp://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/technology/article6841779. eceNon Computer ResearchCyber ​​security essential
