Cyberbullying: If it happens to you
• Do not respond to any messages, posts or emails • Block offenders • Document and report the behavior • Flag the content so others are not hurt by it • Tell an adult – if not your parents then someone you trust
• To schools: • Inform your school of any cyberbullying as you would with other types of bullying • Provide screenshots or records of bullying
Report Cyberbullying
• To your parents and law enforcement, especially if it involves any of the following: • Threats of violence • Explicit messages or photos • Taking a photo or video of someone in a place where he or she would expect privacy • Stalking and hate crimes
Protect your Identity Personal Identifiable Information (PII) Examples: • Student ID Number • Date of Birth • Email Address • Mailing Address – even if it is a PO Box • Credit Card Information – PIN numbers or code on back of card • Social Security Number • City/State/School • Your Full Name – especially if unique This info helps hackers steal your identity to steal you funds, impersonate you, so they can be trusted. Never share this information on-line.
Basic Security • • • • • • •
Never share your password Do not repeat passwords across sites Do NOT share (personally identifiable information) PII Do not download any suspicious or unknown software Always log out when you are done Don’t click on links in emails - phishing Never post anything you do not want public You might think you’re being safe and limiting your posts to only friends, but anything you post can be easily copied and pasted and sent to anyone else!
If you are unsure about anything you do online, ask your parent, teacher or guardian if it is OK Image: https://cdn.theconversation.com/files/141344/wide_article/width1356x668/image-20161012-8415-1bqpx5b.jpg
Risky Business • • • •
On-line Shopping Connecting on your Social Media Any site requiring you to give out your Personal Identifiable information (PII) Posting fake news sites
While these sites are enjoyable and useful. Just make sure you are being extra careful when visiting them • Do not use public Wi-Fi to access these risk sites – especially without a password • Check the address for spoofing
http://bank0famerica.com – note the “0” instead of and “o”
• Use a secure website, especially when submitting PII Look for an "s" after “http” in the web address example: https://www.yahoo.com/ Look for a ‘padlock’ in the browser address bar
Browser Safely • Use automatic Updates • Use and regularly update built-in safety features • Pop-up blockers • Anti-spyware • Anti-virus • Anti-phishing • Do not use “Save Password” or “Remember Me” functions • Internet Explorer is more frequently targeted and has more security flaws than any other browser
Social Media Tips
• Be picky- only friend folks you know in real-life • Never post your location • Never post that you are going on vacation – show the vacation pictures when you get back • Be careful with apps-many free games have geo-tracking or give away your PII • Assume everything you post on-line is permanent-employers and colleges will check social media • Don’t over share-just because a site asks for info doesn’t mean they need it • Customize and update your Security Settingsdefault settings are WEAK! PUBLIC is weak
Why do we care? Not everyone that is online with you is who you think they are They take a lot of time sometimes to groom you into a meet or will kidnap
You think you are talking to
In reality
Could lose a job…or a potential career • McDonald's employee fired after posting gross photos of ice cream machine on his twitter account – could also be sued at this point – global news – whistle blower might not cover his legal issues
Don’t be a troll/hater
Red Flags!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! • You don’t know them – or they pretend you know them… • They want to see a picture or video of you • They keep asking for more and more information about you or your family (social engineering) • They threaten your family, friends or you • They are nice but get more and more aggressive • They want to know when your parents aren’t hanging around • They claim to be 21 or older • Claim to be in the military or a minister or have come into a lot of money they want to share • Start asking for money a little at a time – or send you gifts or money small stuff to start • Too many compliments about you
The more you know… • Smishing • Instagram • Snapchat • Virtual worlds • YouTube • Social Challenges • Dating sites • Catfishing • Ponzi schemes
Why do we care? Not everyone that is online with you is who you think they are – safety is the concern
Some of the bad people that hang out on social media: • Pedophiles • Scammers • Thieves • Human Traffickers • Imposters • Bullies
They see you as vulnerable, an easy target
