National Cyber Awareness Month
The Federal Trade Commission unveiled yesterday a new web site
(http://www.onguardonline.gov/) that provides practical tips to help
everyone be on guard against Internet fraud, secure their computers, and
protect personal information. The new "stop - think - click"
campaign is part of the kick-off to National Cyber Security Awareness Month in October.
The web site includes 7 tips for safe computing at
http://onguardonline.gov/stopthinkclick.html:
1. Protect your personal information. It's valuable.
2. Know who you're dealing with.
3. Use anti-virus software and a firewall, and update both regularly.
4. Be sure to set up your operating system and Web browser software
properly, and update them regularly.
5. Protect your passwords.
6. Back up important files.
7. Learn who to contact if something goes wrong online.
Topics addressed on this web site include: identity theft, spyware,
phishing, spam scams, online shopping, P2P file-sharing, and VOIP. We
encourage you to check out some of the interactive quizzes
(http://onguardonline.gov/quiz/index.html), videos and tutorials
(http://onguardonline.gov/tutorials/index.html), and the glossary of terms
