SAFETY
TIPS for both new and advanced Web users to find
information on using the Internet wisely.
Internet Safety Tips
- Keep your passwords
private, even from your best friend! Your online service will never
ask for them, so neither should anyone else.
- Use only your member
name and/or e-mail address when chatting or sending e-mail. Never give
out personal information like your name, address, or phone number.
- Always delete unknown
e-mail attachments before opening them. They can contain destructive
viruses.
- Remember that nothing
you write on the Web is completely private - including e-mail. So be
careful and think about what you type and who you tell.
- Not everyone is as nice,
cute and funny as they may sound online. Never make plans to meet an
online "friend" in person.
