Online Safety
Did You Know?
Making computer security a habit is very important! The security of your computer, phone, and other mobile devices can affect the safety of your online experience — and that of your kids.
All computer users are exposed to more security risks than they can possibly imagine. Deadbeats, crims, hackers and swindlers prey on unsuspecting victims every second of every day.
Malware is very dangerous! Malware could allow someone to steal your family’s personal or financial information. Malware is software that can: install viruses, monitor or control your computer use, send unwanted pop-up ads, redirect your device to websites you’re not looking for, record your keystrokes
Avoid Phishing Scams Phishing is when scam artists send texts, emails, or popup messages to get people to share their personal and financial information. Scammers use this information to access your accounts, steal your identity, and commit fraud.
Be cautious about opening any attachments! Opening attachments or downloading any files from emails you receive, regardless of who sent them, may contain unexpected files with viruses or malware that your friends or family members didn’t know were there.
Watch out for “free” stuff. Free games, apps, music, and other downloads can hide malware. Don’t download anything unless you trust the source. Teach your kids and other family members how to recognize reputable sources.
Wi-Fi hotspots are not secure! These hotspots can be convenient, but they’re often not secure. That could make it easy for someone else to access your family’s online accounts or steal your personal information — including private documents, photos, and passwords.
Be cautious about Peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing! P2P file-sharing allows people to share these kinds of files through an informal network of computers running the same software. Sometimes spyware, malware, or pornography can be hidden in a shared file. If you or your kids download copyrighted material, you could be subject to legal action. It’s important to know and talk to your kids about the security and other risks involved with file-sharing.
Texting shorthand can lead to misunderstandings. Think about how a text message might be read and understood before they send it.
Ignore texts from people you don’t know. Also do not to reply to — or click on — links in the message. Links can install malware and take you to spoof sites that look real, but that exist to steal your information.
Basic rule to fight back spam is reporting. More complaints cost spamers more money and more work. You think they don't care because they expect that and already have new accounts lined up. But, anyway there is significant increase in cost of doing spaming by constantly switching providers. If most of people follow the basic rule and fail complaints more often, the greater this cost becomes for spamers.
Don’t react to the bully. If your child is targeted by a cyberbully, keep a cool head. Remind your child that most people realize bullying is wrong. Tell your child not to respond in kind. Instead, encourage your kid to work with you to save the evidence and talk to you about it. If the bullying persists, share the record with school officials or local law enforcement.
Protect your privacy. Delete messages that ask for personal information — even if there’s a promise of a free gift. Never provide personal or financial information in response to a text or email.Legitimate companies don’t ask for information like account numbers or passwords by email or text.
Mobile Sharing and Networking
Socializing and sharing on-the-go can foster creativity and fun, but could cause problems related to personal reputation and safety. Use care when sharing photos and videos. Most mobile phones have camera and video capability, making it easy for teens to capture and share every moment. Encourage kids to get permission from the photographer or the person in the shot before posting videos or photos. It’s easier to be smart upfront about what media they share than to do damage control later. Find out more...Did You Know?
Marketing a new product or service is very challenging, because billions of dollars are spent regularly developing and launching new products and services all over the world.Market failure is the most common reason for a product or service to fail. The other common failures are: financial failure (when product or service doesn't make any or enough money, cost of production and implementation of the service have not been sufficiently thought out in the specification stage, waste of time, etc.); organizational failure (poor management, miscommunication, lost productivity, failure to innovate, poor or bad collaboration, etc.) technical failure (when it doesn't work properly, wrong concept, poor implementation etc.) and political failure (when the source of failure is action by the government).
