ONLINE SAFETY AND SECURITY
• The Internet, truly, is a powerful tool. It can be used to
promote your business, gain new friends, and stay in
touch with the old ones.
• It is also a source of entertainment through games,
online communities, and everything in between. But
like most things in this world, there is always "other
side of the coin".
• The internet is one of the most dangerous places
especially if you do not know what you are doing with it.

TIPS TO STAY SAFE ONLINE
The Internet is defined as the information superhighway. This means
that anyone has access to this highway, can place information, and can
grab that information.
It is a public place and it is up to you to protect yourself. Here are some
tips to help you stay safe when using the internet.

b. Worm e. Adware
c. Trojan f. Ransomware
TYPES OF MALWARE
A. VIRUS

and transfer from one
computer to another
(internet, local networks,
FDs, CDs, etc.) and causes
damage to data and
software.
TYPES OF MALWARE
B. WORM
a malicious program that
transfers from one computer
to another by any type of
means.
Ex. ILOVEYOU Worm - The

TYPES OF MALWARE
F. RANSOMWARE

2. SPAM - an unwanted email mostly from bots or advertisers. It
can be used to send malware.
3. PHISHING - its goal is to acquire sensitive personal information

messages, using technology to monitor the victim’s
activities and location, threats to expose confidential
information and threats to the victim’s safety.
PROTECTING REPUTATIONS ONLINE
Here are the things you might want to consider before
posting something over the internet:
1. Before your post something on the

web, ask these questions to yourself:
Would you want your parents or
grandparents to see it? Would you want
your future boss to see it?
2. If you feel that a post can affect you
or other’s reputation, ask the one who
posted it to pull it down or report it as
inappropriate.

material done for a limited and
“transformative” purpose, such as
to comment upon, criticize, or
parody a copyrighted work.
Such uses can be done without

permission from the copyright
owner. In other words, fair use is a
defense against a claim of
copyright infringement.
