Online dangersby Claudia Sonea

The world is a dangerous environment, parents gladly allow children to stay home and surf the Internet than send them to play outside. Who would have knew, that the Internet will pose even more serious issues. No wonder that "Get Safe Online" was created. It is still a taboo topic for most of us, because we don't know how to prevent the online harm, we or our closest ones may suffer. The most dangerous thing is identity theft, that have invaded sites like Facebook or MySpace and are becoming a serious threat to users privacy. Because of the site type that requires to fill personal dates, we are easily exposed to the danger of being deprived of own identity. The personal information posted is enough to serve in obtaining a loan, credit or even to create a bank account. Also, a danger represents the fact that we offer information regarding our present location and this way expose to muggers and all other sorts of criminals. It is dangerous to give your phone number or to meet up with the people you've only chatted online. Children especially are exposed to this type of danger. That is why Tony Neate, Managing Director for Get Safe Online, advises parents to sit down and have a talk with the children about the internet surfing and making some rule in order to prevent other tragedies from happening. Enjoy your online time and watch out for those identity thieves, you never know when they may hit.
