Have you been hacked or meet up with someone you met online? Lately the internet has been turning into a terrible places even peoples accounts are getting hacked etc., For example a girl met a man online and decided to meet up with him and her body was found the next day, she had been strangled by the man. This really disgusted me because the man not only lied about who he was but he murder a poor innocent girl. Now there are some ways/tips that can help keep your self and personal information safe.
Tip 1: Don't give out personal information (name, age, address, phone number, social security number) to strangers.
Tip 2: Never meet in person with an online stranger unless you get your parent's permission and have them come with you.
Tip 3: Never invite a stranger to come meet you in person or call you at your home.
Tip 4: Don't open attachments from strangers (or friends) without scanning them with an up-to-date anti-virus program.
Tip 5: Tell your parents right away if online interaction makes you feel uncomfortable or scared
