Tips on Internet Safety and Usage Tips

Beware about mails and website addresses
Jun 26, 2020 06:22 PM 663 Views

Nowadays, internet security is required more and more. While browsing any website, in the status bar of typing, if the protocol is seen as "not secure", then it is must do not entering any important personal information on that website because any malware may affect the desktop or laptop or mobiles. One should be aware of the emails received to Gmail address because in those emails, the specified websites may not be real and they are very like to original websites. Banking and income tax fake websites are seen on the internet, once one enters the personal information relating to banking, then the result would not be expected because the money would be lost without awareness of the account holder.


That's very good advice

That's very good advice. These days, many people really forget about Internet safety. If in the real world you can insure yourself, there is no guarantee for you online. ALWAYS use antivirus and NEVER give any permission for anything to any website. Even if you've used them before, don't trust it! You can never disclose personal information online. No phone numbers, no residency information, no information about your parents and so on! Always be on the lookout because no one else will keep you safe.

THINK BEFORE YOU CLICK
Apr 08, 2018 01:22 AM 1220 Views

We all know that many online platforms are fake and they gather our details, blackmail us, talk rubbish, all for the need of money, they are too hungry so they try to eat our money is it can be done.


privacy? means what: when the info been shared with any of the third party your privacy gets breaks, when it is hidden in you it is saved but not for long time. do you think now your bank details are safe? you may say I am keeping my passbook and my ATM pin was very secret with in me. think off the bank which gave u all the details has a copy of all the secrets u hold within u. think off in all direction y not the bankers steal your money, don't think how this could be?


they too can but the fear, if they caught they lose job, they are penalised and punished makes them not to involve in any thing,


but these kind of fear are not known to the robbers who steal Ur money by communicating with you, they have no fear except the punishment the get when they caught. but highly they wont get caught,


because if been cheated for 200 in online will u make it as a issue or will u give complaint? that's the+point for them, that's y not only hackers steal normal people also started these kind of small small stealing. the one who lose/ get cheated is getting ready to cheat another and get back the amount he lost.


be aware of every thing, a small looseness can cheat you.


a basic thing u had seen many times in your school or college life,


if teacher ask a question a student? 1.if he knows he replies quickly 2.if he does not know he remains calm 3.if he is quit smart he says relevent about it


the 3rd category persons are the one who cheats u, but if the teacher asks different questions to him repeatedly, he lose his confidence his smartness helps him to some extent only, but if the opponent is too smart he gradually surrender himself towards the teacher.


like the same way if some one ask you to pay some thing or whatever have a convo with them, don't let convince you. ask so many doubts, as you can. the way he responds clearly says who he is.


don't fall where everyone fall off. thing before you step ahead.


nowadays everything is turning online so be aware of our society and don't get cheat.


a last thing don't give your mobile or system linked email address to an unknown person, with that they can see your location and can do anything on the gadget which the email is liked, even transaction too.


don't open a unknown link which comes to your mail, Facebook, whats app because by opening those things they can trace you.


online - the invisible things like air, no one can see, but every one can intake wake up Ur uploading Ur personal in open source like air in sky. there is no privacy when u share.

Your privacy secured
Jan 02, 2018 12:13 PM 1199 Views

So now I am going to share my review or you might say tips on internet safety and uses.


1) At first I would like to suggest those people who use internet for many things related to their privacy they must or they must try to use the Incognito mode on the private mode which do not save your credentials.


2) Almost in all the browsers whenever you fill the credentials the browser ask you to save those credentials for future use but never allow the browser to save it as it may fall in some bad hands and it may affect you bad in future.


3) One should never share the OTP or the one time password because it is the only thing during a Payment procedure required to take out valuable thing or money from your account.


4) I personally recommend my review readers to use Mozilla Firefox as it is more safe than the other Browsers and it never share your credentials to anybody else.


5) while Internet surfing you might see ads but don't click on it ever as it May redirect you to any phishing website which later on can harm you.


6) one should never ever write password anyway. He or she must set a password which they can easily remember.


Thanks for reading my review and if you like it please implement it for your safety in Internet browsing are surfing thank you.

This mode will not store any password, caches, History etc. in the computer that you are using. That doesn’t mean you are completely anonymous on the web. Only your passwords and details kept private.


Now lets see how to activate this mode in different web browsers.

Good Morning to all of the viewers of Mouthshut.com. Today I am taking the opportunity of this platform to write some of the Keypoints about the Safety Measures that needs to be maintained while using the Internet services and also would give some of the pointers on the usage.


Internet is no doubt the best resource available for us and now adays it has been seen almost all aged people are using the Internet services. There is a Trend of Social Media these days and it can be seen that Kids too are attracted to the sites some of which are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube., Tumblr etc. Now in order to be safe Online, we need to be aware about the dangers first. The Kids are more at risk as they does not really think much of what the consequences may be.


Now here are some of tips to stay safe online-


> Know what to browse first. We need to try to browse what we are looking for. We shouldnot fall for some un-necessary websites which tries to lure the visitors.


> Password is one of the key thing that will help us to be safe online. This is most effective with respective to the Social Media sites. We need to create complex Password which should be a combination of Letters(upper and lower case), numbers and also characters. We should also make sure that we keep different passwords for different accounts.


> We need to make sure that we keep changing the password at regular intervals.


> The firewall should always be turned on.


> We should also make sure that we are away from unwanted friends request, emails that we receive. We never know as someone may be plotting something for us.


Now something about the kids:


> Parents should make sure that they are like best friends with their kids. They should always encourage their kids to be sure with what they surfing or what they are doing online.


> The kids should be also educated so that if any unwanted situation arise they should come and talk to some one who is elder or to their parents so that it can be sorted out.


Now how to keep a check on the Internet Usage:


There are numerous ways through which we can maintain the usage of Internet whether Broadband or Mobile services. First we should know what we are looking for as this will prevent us from browsing unwanted sites. When we download any file whether Movie, Audio Song, Video song or any of the software it eats up the usage quota soon so we need to be precise of what to download. Using of Skype or anyother online video calling application also drains the quota at a high speed. We should also make sure that we don't leave our web browser open on a page with automatically refreshing content which will inturn keep refresing and this will inturn keep eating the usage allowance.


I hope all these points will be helpful for all to Stay safe Online.


Must Remember These Before You Go To Cyber Cafe
Dec 07, 2017 12:56 PM 1301 Views

Avoid Following Things When You visit Cyber Cafes:




  • Completely Wipe The Pen Drive




I really had very bad experience with cybercafes. Make Sure you see what is happening on the screen  when you give pen-drive / flash drive to the cybercafe operators.  I had an experience that the operator stole all the data from the pen-drive. Even though he doesn't need.  So as a measure of security erase all the contents of pen-drive and carry only documents that you may require to send an email / print.


  Make Sure to clear all cookies and temporary files


Clear cookies and temporary files before browsing. So if there are any tracking cookies installed in the browser will be removed. So that you will have privacy.




  • Use Private Mode / ICognito Mode




Many popular browsers offer Private browsing mode that doesn't allow any personal information to be stored in the browser. It clears all the contents automatically once you exit the browser. This option is available in most of the browsers like Firefox and Google Chrome.




  • Don't Open Unknown Links




There are few popular Add-ons for both Firefox and Chrome which allow you to check the safety of a link even before opening a link.


Here is the best add-on called WOT( Web Of Trust) That checks every url even before it is opened with rating.




  • Online Proxy / VPN  Addon




To make your browsing more secure and Private  you can use VPN addons. So that your ip address can't be traced. Such great VPN addons are:  Tunnello for Chrome and AnonymoX for Firefox.




  • Process Explorer From Microsoft




There are many keylogging softwares allow them to store all passwords and email address and in fact every key press. Avoid Using Banking websites in cybercafes. In case if you can't avoid using them in cybercafe. Make sure you download process explorer a stand alone application that allows you to view all the applications / services  running in the background.  Keyloggers can be found with this application without installing.




  • Use On Screen Keyboards




Many banking websites allow you to use On-Screen Keyboards( Shuffled Keys) to protect from keyloggers. It is always a good idea to use them to protect yourself.




  • Make Sure the connection is secure & Safe by installing HTTPS Everywhere Addon




By following all the above tips hope you can minimize the Online security threats.

The very important thing to be safe is to open the trusted sites and do not use such websites which gives us the security threat , always open the website from its defined web http which prevent us from visiting different websites and it will be the safest mean to visit the genuine web content.


Do not support such websites which allows you to pirated web downloads , always prefer genuine and trusted place to use for downloads , and the untrusted websites may give you threat of virus and malware which can cause harm to the device you are using be it a computer or a mobile.


Do not feed personal information to the untrusted websites or such websites which just ask you for your credit or debit card number or any other mode of payment .


Do not upload pictures or videos to the websites you don't know about or is new for you, better search for its genuinity before you do so.

General safety on Internet using data encryption
Aug 14, 2017 04:14 PM 1251 Views

Internet has been major part of our daily life. but along with the pros of internet, It also has its cons which can be very dangerous. I have came across few fake mail on email saying that they are from xyz big compamy and will land you a job if you pay they so and so amount. This emails are fake as they are send from some random mail address and not the company mail address. So people should take care before trusting this fake people. There have been few cases in delhi in recent times where such company was found guilty. Apart from this our password is also now secured as there can brute force attack take place. In Brutte force attack, hacker tries all possible possibilities of password and they crack the system. So we should always put a very strong password to avoid such attack. There are also system which can make brutte force attack. So more strong encryption technique should be used so that this brutte force attack don't take place. There are few technique in which multiple keys are used to encrypt the password


Phishing and Security for surfing
Aug 14, 2017 09:05 AM 1433 Views

Hi,


Phishing:


Today I will tell you about Phishing on Internet. The hacker makes duplicate website to steal the information form User. For e.g hacker makes fake SBI login page, It looks same like SBI page and send it to users Email ID. If anyone clicks on that link and tried to login on that page then his/her ID and password are sent to hacker. Phishing is very dangerous so avoid such kind of fake links which are coming on your Emails.


Security while surfing:


Internet is now a days very common thing to do. Everything is on internet today, whatever we required like learning material, ticket booking, online study center, Money transfer, Pay bill or doing some another activity like chatting activity e.t.c. while doing this you should make sure that you are secure. So whatever devices you are using smartphone, desktop or laptop, that device must be antivirus updated so it will help you to be secured. Hackers know how to steal the information on the internet and they focus on to steal information or anything else that could be harmful to you. So be alert while you are surfing or doing some important activity on internet.
