1. Computers, Security and YouBy
-I’m the parent of 3 little girls here at Griegos, one in 2nd grade in 2 in Kindergarten. I’m also a graduate student at the University of New Mexico (go Lobos) where I’m taking an Information Security class and as part of my class I’m here to talk to you about “Computers, Security and You”. Some of you guys filled out some surveys a couple of weeks ago, those surveys were to give me some information for this presentation.
-Before we get started I just want to say that if you have a question at any point, raise your hand and I will stop and answer your question.

2. Why exactly are we here?
-We are here to discuss this picture that was taken 20 years ago in the same cafeteria where we are sitting today. No, not really, but what we are here to discuss is something that has changed drastically since this picture was taken. Can anyone guess what that is?....It’s computers and the Internet. When this picture was taken computers and the Internet existed but weren’t really popular until a few years later. Now many of you do things every day that we couldn’t even dream of back then. Along with doing those things there are a lot of issues that you need to be aware of so that your computer and more importantly you are safe when you’re doing them. That’s what we are talking about today.

3. E-mail and Computer Viruses
What is the Internet?
What is ?
What is a computer Virus?
Conflicker Virus
The Bad Apple
-I will ask the kids to answer the questions above to define these key terms. Based on the surveys I did most of them know what these things are, but I want to make sure they all do. If they don’t get the definition exactly correct, I will give them the definition I have below.
-The Internet - Global system of interconnected computer networks.
- is electronic mail, it’s used to send messages from one person to another on the Internet. Like regular mail you have a mailbox where you can go to check your mail and where you can send mail.
-A computer virus is a bad computer program. Like a virus when you’re sick it is contagious and can spread from computer to computer making computers along the way sick.
-Go to the “The Bad Apple” comic here:
-I will need readers for Mickey, Goofy, Snow White, Doc, Sneezy, Bashful, Grumpy, The Queen, I will read the narrator and the monkey.

5. Social Networking Sites
What is a Social Networking Site?
CNN Social Networking Sites
Club Penguin
Myspace
Facebook
-Social Network site - A website where people with common interests can communicate with each other.
-Cyber criminals are targeting social networking sites. A “friend” could update their status or send you a link to another website. You click on the link and it takes you to a fake website where you enter personal information, you trust it because it came from your friend. Really, it was a criminal and now they have more personal information and maybe even your password. Now they can use your account to do the same thing to others. “Security experts said it makes sense that cybercriminals are turning to social networking sites. Personal information is abundant on sites like Facebook and MySpace. Each time users give out valuable information like birth dates or addresses, they could be providing hints about their password, security experts say.” “Early this year, Twitter experienced several phishing attacks in which a Web page that looked identical to the widely recognized light blue Twitter page was a hoax. The company warned users to double-check the URL to ensure they were visiting the correct site.” If I go to that page and login, they now have my real twitter username and password.
-Examples are Club Penguin, Myspace and Facebook

6. Rules/Tips for Social Networking Sites
Only communicate with people you know
“Friends” Only
No personal information
No face-to-face meetings
Act like your parents are watching
Do you really need an account?
Talk with an adult
-Only interact or become friends with people who you know in real life. If you haven’t had a conversation with them in real life then don’t communicate with them online. You don’t talk to Strangers when you’re not online, don’t do it online either.
-Keep your page closed to only friends. Don’t make it public so that anyone can see it.
-Don’t ever give out personal information online – address, phone number, name of school, name of your parents, name of a team you play for.
-Don’t ever set up a face-to-face meeting online. You already see the people you need to see on a regular basis.
-Pretend like your parents are with you for everything you do online. Don’t post information you wouldn’t want them to see.
-Decide if you really need to have an account at all. If you never log in and never use it. Or if what you do online you can do offline, in recess, at your friends house, get rid of your account. My main use for Facebook is to keep in touch with friends who live in other states or who I don’t see often, some of the people in the picture you saw earlier actually. If you already see these people then maybe you don’t need an account.
-If someone tells you something that makes you feel uncomfortable or inappropriate online tell someone, your parents, your teacher, an adult that you can trust. There are bullies online just like in real life.

What can we do to protect against it? Verify urls and only interact with people we know.
-SPAM – The use of to send unwanted bulk messages. Someone sends an to lots of people, maybe to sell a product or get you to go to their website. Can have viruses and other bad software. If you have lots of SPAM becomes unusable. Be careful where you give your out, don’t open messages from people you don’t know.
-Spyware – software that is used to secretly monitor a persons activity on a computer. One example is a keylogger which records everything a person types into a keyboard. Why would this be useful to a bad guy? They could get passwords and usernames this way.
