Safe Surfing Tips
Protect your identity
When signing up for anything online, even
free software where your personal
information may be requested before you can download, always think
carefully about the kind of information you are being asked to supply.
For instance, if something is free you should not have to give credit
cards details. Consider registering a free email address at
hotmail,
yahoo, or
opera and using that when asked to
enter an email before a download. This will keep your main email address
safe from abuse
Email
Never send your credit or
debit card information by
email.
Email is not a secure method of
communication and
emails can be intercepted and the
information read. Never reply to
emails requesting passwords or that you
enter login details for your online banking - these are almost certain
to be scams.
Emails requesting you to log in and
supply access information to your bank or ebay, for instance, are know
as "Phishing Emails" or "Spoof Emails". Do not respond to them or click
on any of the links in these
emails. It is good practice to NEVER
click on any link in an unsolicited
email, even the unsubscribe link. Quite
often the unsubscribe link in a spam
email is just a way to verify an active
email address and by clicking on it you will just encourage more junk
spam
mail.
