What is the importance of online safety and protecting your information? What do you do to protect yourself online? Share an experience you or someone you know has had with online safety.
Online safety is important because anyone in the whole world can look at your pictures and post without you even knowing it. If you don't your information, others can get a hold of your personal information like your phone number or email. on twitter and instagram, I have it on the privacy setting so if anyone wants to follow me, I have to accept it in order for them to look at my pictures or posts. i also don't put any personal info like my address of phone number. Last year, my moms got an email on her yahoo account. the email said it was from a friend of ours and he was stuck in another country and is asking my mom so lend him money to get back to America. It told us to send him like an electronic check. My mom was so confused and called him to ask what it was about and he had no idea about it. We found out that a hacker got a hold of my moms yahoo account and used one of her contacts to email her but really, if she did send money, it would send to the hacker and get a hold of her credit card number. My mom changed her password and she never got an email again.
