RiskExplanation Identity ThievesThe more information you make available online, the greater the risk of identity theft. It can be very tempting to reply to an or open an attachment or post information about yourself on social networking sites, but you should never do it. Cyber stalkingUnlike when your meeting someone face-to-face, you don’t always know who your actually ‘talking’ to online, even if they think you do. This makes it easy for someone who may want to hurt you, to pretend they are someone else and become their 'friend'. Viruses and spyware Opening infected attachments Visiting corrupt websites. USB connected devices (eg memory sticks, external hard drives, MP3 players). CDs/DVDs. Serious consequences: Identity theft Fraud. Deletion, theft and corruption of data. A slow or unusable computer. PhishingPhishing is a common trick used on websites that have been hacked or are pretending to be legitimate. PayPal and eBay are two of the most common targets for phishing scams

Phishing is a common trick used by hackers wanting to gain information fraudulently. Common ways are by posing as real companies asking for personal information e.g. a bank requesting log in details, PIN number etc. Another example would be posing as a real charity and asking for an online donation. PayPal and eBay are two of the most common targets for phishing scams

Spyware is similar to a Trojan horse in that users unwittingly install the product when they install something else. A common way to become a victim of spyware is to download certain peer-to-peer file swapping products that are available today.

Spam s are s sent to you without consent. It is that you don’t want and didn’t ask for, and its content can cause embarrassment and distress. However, it’s worth remembering that the sender generally doesn’t target recipients personally.

A firewall is a system designed to prevent unauthorized access to or from a private network. Firewalls can be implemented in both hardware and software, or a combination of both. Firewalls are frequently used to prevent unauthorized Internet users from accessing private networks connected to the Internet, especially intranets.
