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.
