3. WHAT IS CYBERSAFETY?
Internet safety or online safety or cyber
safety or E-Safety is trying to be safe on the
internet and is the act of maximizing a user's
awareness of personal safety and security
risks to private information and property
associated with using the internet, and the
self-protection from computer crime.
As the number of internet users continues to
grow worldwide, internets, governments and
organizations have expressed concerns
about the safety of children and teenagers
using the Internet. Over 45% have
announced they have endured some sort of
cyber-harassment. Safer Internet Day is
celebrated worldwide in February to raise
awareness about internet safety.
4. CYBER CRIME
Cybercrime is a crime that involves a computer and a
network. The computer may have been used in the
commission of a crime, or it may be the target.
Cybercrime may harm someone's security and financial
health.
There are many privacy concerns surrounding
Cybercrime when confidential information is intercepted
or disclosed, lawfully or otherwise. Internationally, both
governmental and non-state actors engage in
cybercrimes, including espionage, financial theft, and
other cross-border crimes. Cybercrimes crossing
international borders and involving the actions of at
least one nation-state are sometimes referred to as
cyberwarfare.
A report (sponsored by McAfee) published in 2014
estimated that the annual damage to the global
economy was $445 billion. A 2016 report by
Cybersecurity ventures predicted that global damages
incurred as a result of cybercrime would cost up to $6
trillion annually by 2021 and $10.5 trillion annually by
2025.
5. CYBERBULLYING
Cyberbullying or cyber harassment is
a form of bullying or harassment using
electronic means. Cyberbullying and
cyber harassment are also known as
online bullying. It has become
increasingly common, especially
among teenagers, as the digital
sphere has expanded and technology
has advanced. Cyberbullying is when
someone, typically a teenager, bullies
or harasses others on the internet and
other digital spaces, particularly on
social media sites. Harmful bullying
behavior can include posting rumors,
threats, sexual remarks, a victims'
personal information, or pejorative
labels (i.e. hate speech).
6. CYBERSTALKING
Cyberstalking is when the stalker
uses the Internet to contact or follow
that person. The stalker may make
direct contact with that person, they
may send nasty messages to that
person or spread lies about them to
others. Sometimes stalkers use the
Internet to learn more about the
other person. They might find their
address, phone number, workplace
or photograph. Then they might use
this information to do more stalking
or find other ways to hurt that
person on the Internet or hurt their
body.
7. MALWARE
Malware is any software
intentionally designed to cause
damage to a computer, server,
client, or computer network. By
contrast, software that causes
unintentional harm due to some
deficiency is typically described
as a software bug. A wide variety
of malware types exist, including
computer viruses, worms, Trojan
horses, ransomware, spyware,
adware, rogue software, wiper
and scareware.
