INTERNET ETHICS
We all know that the Internet has become an important part of our day-to-day
activities. We use the Internet for searching for information, sending or receiving
e-mails, doing online banking, shopping, etc. Internet ethics are the good practices
that one should follow while using the Internet.
Some of the Internet ethics are as follows:
Do not deceive others by hiding your identity online.
Avoid using rude or offensive language in emails, blogs, and on social networking
sites.
Do not share personal information with unknown individuals.
Avoid accessing inappropriate websites.
Do not use someone else's username and password to access their email.
ONLINE SAFETY
Cybercrime is common nowadays, so, we should be very careful while using the
Internet. Follow the given guidelines to avoid becoming a victim of Cybercrimes.
Choose Strong Passwords
We should use a unique and strong password so that it should not be guessed by
strangers or those who are close to us.
Never Save your Password
Whenever we open any account, the browser prompts us to save our passwords
so that we can log in directly without typing our passwords which saves our time.
But, saving the passwords can be harmful as the person using our computer can
get access to our account easily and can misuse it.
Open Trusted Emails Only
Never open any email with attachments or links until and
unless it has been sent by the person you are expecting
from. The mail can contain a virus and can be harmful to
your computer.
