Safety
The World Wide Web is the biggest information exchange out there: many more people than you intend have access
to your information, including your parents, teachers, employer(s), the police and strangers, some of whom might
be dangerous.
You will be able to find all the information and tips you need to protect yourself, your friends and your family
against the potential for online trouble on this page.
Protect your computer
WAYN advise you to:
- Install a firewall to keep out viruses and hackers
- Install anti-virus software
- keep applications and operating systems up to date
- Make regular backups
- Secure wireless networks
But above all, to browse the internet safely.
Email address, Username and Password
We advise you to use a free email service, such as yahoo or hotmail. These email account can be easily deleted should something happen and it will not put any important contacts or businesses at risk.
Do not include your personal information in your username: Jane19_eastlondon or John_liverpoolstreet would be bad choices.
Passwords should always be kept to yourself and yourself only. To prevent your account or other online business being misused, we advise you to keep the following in mind:
- Do not personalise your password
- Try to use at least 1 number in your password
- Do not keep your password visible in for example your workplace
- People that abuse your password often are close to you, such as friends and family
