Secure surfing and the protection of privacy are in everyone's interest. More and more aspects of our daily lives are now handled by computer: booking holidays, making payments, shopping, etc.
As in real life, travelling on the data highway is not without its dangers. The SchoolNetGuide No. 7 identifies the following security risks:
- Technical threats that could prove harmful (viruses, worms, Trojan Horses, spyware)
- Nuisances that may be harmless but which waste our time and drive us crazy (spam).
- Fraudulent activities in which people are after your money (e.g. identity theft).
The leaflet shows you where the dangers lie, tells you what to look out for when you are e-mailing or surfing, and lists the precautions you can take when buying a new PC, installing a new operating system or using a wireless network.
This brochure is available in German, French and Italian and can be ordered at no charge.
