What do you think of your own security behavior? How do you behave when it comes to security measurement and assessments? How do you know that you are secured in real life or virtual life?
In real life for example, even sometimes our friends can betray us and what's more in virtual life? You have stalkers stalking your activities in FB, you even have stalkers or hackers monitoring your activities in front of the pc. How scary!
This is what you can do at least to make sure you are secured enough in general, even though you're not sure whether that is good enough:
- Never ever give your windows password or PC's password or any password to anybody. You'll never know when is your friends will betray you and i hope my friends will not betray me :-)
- When you visited a banking websites or any websites involve with your money, make sure the URL you are login is correct and it is from whom it claims to be. For example: you are visiting Citibank website. Make sure that the URL is from Citibank website and not from www.yougothack.com or something else;
- After browsing the websites, make sure you clear all the cache from your PCs or notebook and it is more dangerous if you are surfing from public PCs such as at cybercafes or internet cafes
- Control on what you type and sent out to the Internet. Never ever put your address in the Internet as well as your personal information. Unless you want to buy online and the website is secured enough for you to put in all your personal information.
They are many tips and tricks for securing your information, your money and others in the Internet. Just use uncle Google and search...it is all at your fingertips :-)
Just remember that, never ever trust someone you don't know from virtual life...nowadays, people are more likely to trust people they know only in the virtual life without knowing that the person is a stalker, hacker, phisher, spammer or liar and others.
