HOW KIDS PRACTICE SAFETY ONLINE

DATA BREACHES

Data breaches can be accidental or
intentional. Always follow up when you
know a data breach has happened and
be sure to all of your passwords.

PHISHING

Phishing is when you are tricked into
giving your information to a fake source.
This can happen from click on links, email,
and opening attachments. Always inspect
all links/emails/attachments before
opening to make sure they are credible.

Public wifi connections are generally
unsafe. Be sure not to log into accounts,
or make any purchases even on
