Online Safety, Security and Netiquette
ON
,

Online safety refers to the practices and precautions that should be

observed when using the internet to ensure that the users as well as their
computers and personal information are safe from crimes associated with using the
internet. Below are personal information that must be kept confidential. There are
numerous delinquencies that can be committed on the internet such as stalking,
identity theft, privacy violations, and harassment.

 To avoid these online crimes, follow the following online safety measures:
Never give any personal information out about yourself over the internet.
 Do not give any banking or sensitive information unless you are sure that it is
a reputable business having a secure service. To make sure that you are in a
secured network, the website address should begin with “https://’ as opposed
to “http://”. Never access your accounts by following an email link, instead
type your URL by yourself.
Here are some ways you can check if a website is trustworthy.
Reliable Websites Unreliable Websites

Netiquette is a combination of the words network and etiquette. It is a set of rules

Flame war is a series of flame posts or

messages in a thread that are considered

message.

ON
Kinds of Online Threats
There is no doubt that you need to be vigilant online. As the World Wide Web
evolved over the years, many internet predators have been playing on
vulnerabilities to attack computers and retrieve sensitive data from individuals. Half
the time, we aren’t even aware it is happening until it is too late. Online threat is
deemed any malicious act that attempts to gain access to a computer network
without authorization or permission from the owners. These are usually done by
computer hackers who uses the World Wide Web to facilitate cybercrime. Web
threats use multiple types of malware and fraud, all of which utilize HTTP or HTTPS
protocols, but may also employ other protocols and components, such as links in
email or Instant Messaging apps, or any malware attachments on servers that
access the Web. They benefit cybercriminals by stealing information for subsequent
sale and help absorb infected PCs into botnets. Web threats pose a broad range of
risks, including financial damages, identity theft, loss of confidential
information/data, theft of network resources, damaged brand/personal reputation,
and erosion of consumer confidence in e-commerce and online banking. The
following are the top kinds of online threats that you should be aware of:

1. Phishing - happens when an email is sent from an internet criminal disguised

as an email from a legitimate, trustworthy source. The message is meant to
lure you into revealing sensitive or confidential information.

DIWA SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL SERIES: Empowerment Technologies (2 nd Edition) 8

2. Pharming - happens when a hacker (or “pharmer”) directs an internet user to a
fake website instead of a legitimate one. These “spoofed” sites can capture a
victim’s confidential information, including usernames, passwords, and credit card
data, or install malware on their computer. Pharmers usually focus on websites in
the financial sector, including banks, online payment platforms, or other e-
commerce destinations.

3. Internet Scam - generally refers to someone using internet services or software

to defraud or take advantage of victims, typically for financial gain. Cybercriminals
may contact potential victims through personal or work email accounts, social
networking sites, dating apps, or other methods in attempts to obtain financial or
other valuable personal information. Online scams may come in various forms such
as lottery scam, charity fraud scams, job offer scams, and online dating scams to
name a few.

DIWA SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL SERIES: Empowerment Technologies (2 nd Edition) 9

4. Internet robots - are also known as spiders, crawlers, and web bots. It is a
software application that is programmed to do certain tasks. Bots are automated,
which means they run according to their instructions without a human user. Some
bots are useful, such as search engine bots that index content for search or
customer service bots that help users. Other bots are "bad" and are programmed to
break into user accounts, scan the web for contact information for sending spam, or
perform other malicious activities. If it's connected to the Internet, a bot will have an
associated IP address.

5. Malware or malicious software - is any program or file that is harmful to a

computer user. Here are the most common offenders in the rogues’ gallery of
malware:

 Adware (advertising supported software) - is unwanted software

designed to throw advertisements up on your screen. Example,
pop-up ads and banner ads.
 Spyware - is malware that secretly observes the computer user’s
activities without permission and reports it to the software’s
author. Example is a key logger.
 Virus and Worms - are malwares that attach to another program
and, when executed—unintentionally by the user—replicates itself
by modifying other computer programs and infecting them with its
own bits of code.
 Trojan, or Trojan horse - is one of the most dangerous malware
types. It usually represents itself as something useful in order to
trick you. Once it’s on your system, the attackers behind the
Trojan gain unauthorized access to the affected computer. From
there, Trojans can be used to steal financial information or install
threats like viruses and ransom ware.
 Ransomware - is a form of malware that locks you out of your
device and/or encrypts your files, then forces you to pay a ransom
to get them back.

6. Spams - are unsolicited emails, instant messages coming from recipients that
are not granted verifiable permission for the message to be sent. Spam messages
can be damaging if you open or respond to it.

7. Cyberstalking - refers to the use of the internet or other electronic device to

harass or stalk individuals or organizations.

DIWA SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL SERIES: Empowerment Technologies (2 nd Edition) 10

8.Cyberbullying - refers to the act of tormenting, harassing, or embarrassing
another person using the internet.

9. Spoofing -
happens when someone or something pretends to be something else to gain our
confidence, get access to our systems, steal data, steal money, or spread malware.
