Identity Protection
Students! Would you like to reveal your personal
information to a person who can make fun of your
personality or who misuses your details for illegal
activities? Surely Not!! So, while browsing internet,
be alert so that your personal identity is not revealed
to such people.
‘Identity Protection’ refers to safety practices to
prevent theft of personal information such as personal
profile, bank account details, address details, family
details and also to prevent from obtaining credit card
benefits, ordered goods, passports, driving licenses,
etc. by other person.
Protect Username and Password
One needs to ensure that his/her user name,
password, credit card or online banking information
are secure, as they are prone to be tracked by
unauthorised users.
A user should never save username or password
on the computers which are used in a shared
environment such as at internet cafes. The web
browsers may save the personal data on the local
computer that can be accessed by another user
using the same computer.
