To minimize risks on the web you can follow these tips:
.
Avoid clicking on any URL links
.
Especially URL-shortened links
.
Links that you receive in emails
.
Facebook messages
.
Or tweets you are not expecting to receive
.
Be cautious of online surveys
.
And downloading photos, apps, or files you receive
.
Even if they come from your friends
.
If you are unsure, check with your friend first
.
Don't ever use the same password for multiple services
.
Limit the amount of information you share on social networking sites
.
Keep your software and web browser updated with the latest releases and patches
.
Only ever download software from official websites
.
And if you do all this you can still be caught out but you are reducing your exposure
.
Another important point is to remember that everything you write or say can and is monitored by some government agency or another
.
Enjoy your time on line!
