Internet Safety
Internet Safety is the security of people and their information when using the internet. One of the major responsibilities of every person who uses the internet is to keep sure that their personal information is disclosed so that it is not publicly viewed on the internet.

Few ways to protect yourself from the internet is by only allowing personal information to be viewed by people you trust, never giving your passwords out to anyone else, and always deleting unknown emails with attachments as they may contain viruses.
