4. Chat Rooms

# data[].attributes.body
1. You’re too social.
Revealing important information to your friends and extended network can be dangerous. When you post personal facts like your name, school or family history, you give away answers to password security questions. Adjust your privacy controls to limit the people who see your information.

2. You don’t read the fine print.
Nobody likes to read the fine print. That’s why certain online businesses take advantage of the space to sneak carefully worded language past you. When you accept their terms and conditions without reading them, you could unknowingly give away your online privacy to the company and its affiliates.

3. You shop and bank on public Wi-Fi.
Cybercriminals love to spy on public Wi-Fi and trick users onto bogus networks. Question all Wi-Fi links with suspicion and use a VPN (virtual private network) to encrypt important data. Make sure your connection is completely secure by using Kaspersky’sSafe Money technology when you shop and bank online. And if you’re on your mobile device, use your cellphone network for important transactions.

4. You jailbreak your mobile devices.
Jailbreaking does more than add features to your smartphone or tablet. It also takes away important protections, inviting a world of mobile malware onto your device. Stay safe on the go by avoiding jailbreaks and the third-party download sites, bad apps and other online dangers that go with them.

5. You don’t know where your kids go online.
If you have kids, you should know their favorite websites and social networks. The Internet can be an extension of your child’s life, so it only makes sense that you stay involved to guide them through proper online etiquette, cyberbullying and the ever-changing challenges of online life.

1. You assume that your banking site is safe.
The bad guys go where your money goes. That’s why hastily mistyping your bank’s URL or failing to notice that you’ve been redirected to an imposter website could lead tocybertheft . Avoid unwanted withdrawals by using Kaspersky’s Safe Money technology to identify phishing websites and secure every aspect of your online banking experience.

2. You shop in shady places.
It’s easy to get excited when you find a great deal online, but you need to use caution before clicking “Add to Cart.” If you’re hooked by a bargain on an unknown shopping site, or you click on a search result instead of entering the URL directly, you might pay for a cybercriminal’s shopping spree instead. So how can you shop safely online? Protect every transaction from start to finish with Kaspersky’s Safe Money technology.

3. You only use one password.
If you’re not putting enough thought into your passwords, hackers could steal your money—and your online identity. By using multiple passwords, you’ll prevent them from accessing your entire online world with a single word. Thinking of strong passwords is also crucial. Luckily, Kaspersky’s Password Manager feature generates passwords and securely stores them across all of your devices. All of your sites will be safe—and you’ll only have to remember one password.

4. You don’t know all of your friends.
It might feel good to friend your entire hometown on Facebook, but it’s safer to use discretion when expanding your social network. When you accept an invite request from someone you don’t know, you’re inviting malware or identity thieves into your inner circle.

Public profiles put kids at a much greater risk to:

Receive a message from a stranger

Meet with a stranger

Be harassed by peers

Other concerns of social networking sites:

Lack of age-verification mechanisms

Posting provocative pictures and videos

Easy access for predators and cyberbullies

Excessive or addictive access

Access to unhealthy “groups”

# data[].attributes.body
"Kids are going to post photos and personal information.  At least they should be aware of the risks.  At least they should use the privacy tools built into the sites to keep people they don't know from accessing their information and their data.  And at least moms and dads should learn about what they are doing."

# data[].attributes.body
No doubt, the Internet can be an extremely useful tool for young people. But instant messaging, chat rooms, emails and social networking sites can also bring trouble - from cyberbullying to more serious Internet dangers, including exposure to sexual predators.

Parents need to monitor children's mobile phone usage, Oman school warns

August 28, 2017 | 10:05 PM

"Children and Smart Phone" Illustration by Geri B. Sonny

Muscat: Parents should monitor their children when they are engaged with phones for a long time, a circular sent from the Indian School Muscat (ISM) to parents on Sunday, stated.

"Mobile phones have become a widespread phenomenon in the present time. Recently, there has been a lot of speculation about the impact of cell phone radiations in our body.

"It's very unfortunate that our youngsters are totally addicted to mobile phones and laptops, which adversely affect their health and academic performance. Use of cell phones also tempts them to indulge in texting inappropriate messages and capturing pictures, which may put them in trouble later," the Principal of ISM, Dr Rajeev Kumar Chauhan, said in the circular.

"For students in the pre-primary and primary sections, a smartphone with an internet connection is not at all necessary.

"For older children, the usage should be monitored by the parents regarding the sites and the games that they play.

"Children, by nature, are curious and may have a tendency to visit sites, which may be inappropriate for their age and play games, which could be harmful for them, both physically and emotionally," Chauhan said.

Counsel students

He also asked the parents to teach their students how to be safe online.

"At school, we do counsel our students regularly about being safe in the cyber world.

"It would be nice if you as parents can also reiterate this point and teach them how to be safe online," the circular said. Earlier, ISM had banned the use of mobile phone on the school campus.

"Students are strictly instructed not to carry mobile phones in school. If any student is found with a mobile phone in school, strict action will be taken," Chauhan had said in a circular issued earlier this month.

There are around 9,000 children studying from KG1 till Class XII at ISM. Welcoming the circular, parents said they have started teaching about dangers of the cyber world to their children. "Just like I warn about strangers on the street, I have to do the same when it comes with online behaviour as well," Shiv Kumar, the parent of an ISM student, said.

NetSafe Episode 2: What is Personal Information? (Grades K-3)

# data[].attributes.body
Keep personal information (such as your hometown, birth date with year and phone number) off social networks. Don't send any sensitive information when connecting over public Wi-Fi (e.g. don't do banking or shop online) Use private browsing mode on your Internet browser or at least turn off your browser cookies

# data[].attributes.body
If you thought your child was at risk while walking to school alone for a few blocks, consider the dangers of the Internet.

# data[].attributes.body
stay proactive to help your kids stay safe:

1. Check their social media accounts often.

2. Ask your Internet service provider and check your Web browser for parent-control options to block certain material from your computers.

3. Keep the computer in a common area of the house. This deters your kids from doing something they know they’re not allowed to do – and makes it easier to catch them in the act.

# data[].attributes.body
10. It is never a good thing from a social perspective for a child to spend too much time online. Parents need to monitor their child's online activities if for no reason other than to prevent the child from becoming limited in his/her social interactions.

# data[].attributes.body
9. Cyber bullying is another issue that needs to be addressed when hoping to boost child safety online. Cyber bullying is really no different than traditional bullying. The main difference is that it utilizes the communicative nature of the internet to perform the bullying actions. The psychological impact remains the same.

# data[].attributes.body
8. Chat rooms have grown into places where cyber identity theft is becoming a consistently serious problem. Those that wish to avoid having any member of the family's identity compromised needs to monitor chat room activity.

# data[].attributes.body
7. Chat rooms (online communal instant messaging rooms) frequently remain the most potentially dangerous for adults and children. The reason for this is that it is easy to remain anonymous in a chat room. This opens the door to all manner of immoral characters to take advantage of the unsuspecting. Chat rooms are notorious for sexual predators which further adds to the danger of such rooms.

# data[].attributes.body
6. Internet stalking is a common problem teens and children will deal with. Those with Facebook profiles may very well find them at great risk for stalking. The most common form of stalking would be repeated emails and messages. However, if personal contact information is provided on the Facebook profile, stalking can escalate to phone calls and even visits to one's residence. To greatly increase child safety online, you need to reduce the potential for online stalking. That is a must.

# data[].attributes.body
5. Examine the history of the websites that your child is visiting. By taking this action it is possible to stay in the loop as far as knowing what type of websites your child is visiting and how often. Gaining access to this type of information makes it possible for you to discover any problems at their earliest inception and to avoid unpleasant surprises. There is internet monitoring software that allows you to do this with or without your children’s knowledge. However, this is an issue that every parent must take with their own children. However, it is worthy of noting that many employers now monitor the internet usage of employees and the caring role of a parent to their children is greater.

# data[].attributes.body
4. For older teens, there is always the potential for them to get involved with credit card scams. Child safety online does not stop at age 18. In fact, parents may need to be more diligent in monitoring internet usage to prevent any serious financial disasters the teen may get into.

# data[].attributes.body
3. There are all manner of Trojans and viruses a child can accidentally download to a hard drive. Once these viruses and Trojans are inside your computer that can initiate all manner of identity theft actions. Your passwords could be compromised; your personal files and folders copied, and your keystrokes can be logged. Once this occurs, such information could be uploaded to another site where it will be effectively compromised by identity thieves. This is a serious problem and it is one that also needs to be avoided. Parents need to be aware of the files children are downloading and if they are visiting sites where malicious Trojans are known to prey.

# data[].attributes.body
2. Children do not realize how common cyber identity theft on Facebook is if you provide too many personal details about yourself. Parents need to help boost child safety by preventing the young ones from offering too much personal information in the context of their Facebook profile.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Children place themselves and their parents at risk for cyber identity theft if they give out personal information online. There are many unethical people out there seeking to compromise other's identity. You do not want your children falling victim to such individuals.

# data[].attributes.body
The internet is an amazing resource of information and entertainment. It is also a forum in which people can communicate with one another from all over the world. And best of all, the internet is not exclusive. Anyone can take part in online festivities. Even children can navigate the internet but that might not always be a good thing. Those with teenagers and youngsters need to remain aware of steps to promote child safety online. A child can confront a number of risks surfing the internet. Here are ten reasons why parents need to monitor their children's internet use:
