The fact that the Internet brings great value to our lives no one can challenge it and the benefits of its use are numerous and not getting into the discussion. But always there is also a reverse side. There is danger everywhere and enjoy the benefits of the Internet must know and how to protect yourself. Security of personal data and privacy is reason enough to learn to avoid capacanele that you are exposed every day.
Those from CyberDefender, security providers for the Internet, have studied the problem and came up with some solutions, namely things that you should NOT do when you surf in the virtual world.
I extracted some of them that we face every day without to give them great importance:
1. How to protect yourself when using a computer other than your own staff.
NO never check the "Keep me sign in" if you use a computer to which others have been denied access.
Be careful with your office computer. You feel like it's yours for the work on it every day, but so well can use and other colleagues in your absence. Can I make a very simple thing, to send their address on all mail you received. They can also see all your history very simple sites accessed.
If you are logged on a website, do not forget when you leave and deloghezi site!
Delete visited sites history of browser you use when you have finished using that computer.
NO never save passwords to access different sites other than your personal computer, because then other users can access your accounts on these sites.
2. How to protect yourself on social networks like Facebook
Use settings to protect personal data (privacy settings). Do not let free access to "friends of friends" to see even birth date or phone number. These data can be used and you can wake up with no money in the account. Many banks, when you contact them by phone or contact for various issues related to your account, just do a simple check to ensure that talk-ask the account holder date of birth.
3. Do not use the same password for multiple accounts
It's hard to remember multiple passwords so that many of us use the same password for all accounts they have on various sites. The problem is that once you are 100% exposed discovered password.
As a preferred solution is to have different passwords for different types of accounts. For example, for email accounts and logging on the computer uses certain passwords and service for all sorts of sites and other social networking passwords.
Some browsers have a function of great help in this case - "master password". Under this unique password you can save various other passwords you use for different accounts. When we look only need to insert in the tool that "your master password'' and there you will find the rest of passwords.
