group 1

the end of this lesson, the students should be able to:

• consider one's and others' safety when sharing information using the Internet;
• consider one's and others' reputation when using the Internet;
• determine and avoid the dangers of the Internet;
• be responsible in the use of social networking sites; and
• browse the Internet efficiently and properly through proper referencing.

How many checks did you have for Shared? You probably answered Shared in the first two items. If that is the case, try using a search engine like Google then type your first and last name. Did you get links to your profile page? Try switching to image search. Did your pictures appear? If you have a unique name, chances are, it did. Do not feel bad if it did not appear though; in fact, it is probably for your best interest not to have pictures of yourself in a search engine.
So how did these things happen? How can search engines locate me? Is there any danger of being found by search engines?

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. Any information, even things that you have set privately, can be accessed one way or another. This is why social networking sites like Facebook continue to improve their security features. The threat of cybercrime is very real. While you may not experience the threat now, whatever information we share today could affect our future.

Tips to Stay Safe Online
The Internet 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.
1. Be mindful of what you share online and what site you share it to.
2. Do not just accept terms and conditions; read it.
3. Check out the privacy policy page of a website to learn how the website handles the information you share.
4. Know the security features of the social networking site you use. By keeping your profile private, search engines will not be able to scan your profile.
5. Do not share your password with anyone.

6. Avoid logging in to public networks/Wi-Fi. Browsing in "incognito (or private) mode," a feature of the browser, will not protect you from hackers.
7. Do not talk to strangers whether online or face-to-face.
8. Never post anything about a future vacation. It is similar to posting, "Rob my house at this date."
9. Add friends you know in real life.
10. Avoid visiting untrusted websites.

The Internet 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.
11. Install and update an antivirus software on your computer. Use only one anti- virus software to avoid conflicts.
12. If you have a Wi-Fi at home, make it a private network by adding a password.
13. Avoid downloading anything from untrusted websites. You are most vulnerable in peer-to-peer downloads (torrents) as the download is most likely not monitored by the site owner.
14. Buy the software; do not use pirated ones,
15. Do not reply or click links from suspicious emails.

Most people would dispute that there is no such thing as private over the Internet and they may be right. There are hackers who can find a backdoor even if your profile is already set to private. You have no control of whoever is looking at your friend's screen whenever they open your profile or chat with you. You have no control over people getting access to your friend's account and seeing your private stuff.

Skill Exploration

Exploration 2.1. Privacy Policies
Visit a social networking site and look for the site's privacy policy.
The link is typically found at the bottom of the page and sometimes labeled only as "Privacy."
Write a summary on how the website handles both your private and public information.

C. Trojan - a malicious program that is disguised as a useful program but once downloaded or installed, leaves your PC unprotected and allows hackers to get your information
*Rogue security software - tricks the user into posing that it is a security software. It asks the user to pay to improve his/her security but in reality, they are not protected at all.
d. Spyware - a program that runs in the background without you knowing it (thus called "spy"). It has the ability to monitor what you are currently doing and typing through keylogging.

Internet Threats
Here are some of the threats you should be aware of when using the Internet:
1. Malware-stands for malicious software
a. Virus - a malicious program designed to replicate itself and transfer from one computer to another either through the Internet and local networks or data storage like flash drives and CDs
b. Worm - a malicious program that transfers from one computer to another by any type of means. Often, it uses a computer network to spread itself. For example, the ILOVEYOU worm (Love Bug Worm) created by a Filipino.

*Keyloggers - used to record the keystroke done by the users. This is done to steal their password or any other sensitive information. It can record email, messages, or any information you type using your keyboard.

e. Adware - a program designed to send you advertisements, mostly as pop- ups

2. Spam-unwanted email mostly from bots or advertisers. It can be used to send malware

3. Phishing Its goal is to acquire sensitive personal information like passwords and credit card details. This is done by sending you an email that will direct the user to visit a website and be asked to update his/her username, password, credit card, or personal information.

*Pharming a more complicated way of phishing where it exploits the DNS (Domain Name Service) system.

Protecting Reputations Online

In the past, doing something embarrassing was not much of a big deal. It happened; people would laugh at it, and they would move on. Nowadays, embarrassing moments are captured using any device you could imagine. What is worse is that people can easily upload it to the Internet, where it can be stored forever. This could impact not only your reputation but also the people around you. What is worse is that people tend to ignore this fact, and suffer from it later in their life.

Once you post something over the Internet, search engines keep them in their archives for search results. This makes anything you post to last forever even if you delete it in your page. Something you and your friends find funny today may be something that could harm someone's reputation later.

Think Before You Click

Here are things you might want to consider before posting something over the Internet:

1. Before you 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? Once you post something on the web, you have no control of who sees your posts.

2. Your friends depend on you to protect their reputation online. Talk to your friends about this serious responsibility.

Think Before You Click

3. Set your post to "private." In this way, search engines will not be able to scan that post.

4. Avoid using names. Names are easy for search engines to scan.

5. 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.
