How safe are you?
Type of Information Shared Not Shared
1. First Name
2. Last Name
3. Middle Name
4. Current and previous school(s)
5. Your cellphone number
6. The name of you mother and father
7. The name of your siblings
8. Your address
9. Your home phone number
10. Your birthday
 • First Name
There is a risk of sharing your first
name. Chances are, a hacker may
already know plenty of stuff about
you even if you give your first name.
Likewise, you cannot just walk in a
room and start introducing yourself
to everyone.
• Last Name
If sharing your first name is a small
risk, having both your first and last
is more risky. You will be vulnerable
to being search for using search
engines, which includes image
search. Matching a name with a
face is a modus to several
cybercrimes like identity theft.
• Middle Name
Sharing your middle name alone is
probably not the most risky of these
shared information, but sharing
your full name would be.
• Current and previous
school.
Most people who steal identities
study their subject. They can use
this information for verification
purposes.
• Your cellphone number
Your cellphone number should not
be posted over the internet. The
internet is a public place. It is the
same posting your number in a
billboard. You would not random
strangers to text you or call you, or
worse, pretend that they are
someone else.
• The name of your
father and mother
Risky, yet as not as risky as posting their
full names, especially your mother’s
maiden. In fact, you may have already
encountered many websites that
requires your mother’s maiden name as
answer to secret question whenever
you forgot your password.
• The name of your
siblings
Disclosing this is a huge risk.
Strangers may pretend or use
their identity to dupe(deceive)
you.
• Your address
Hopefully, your answered is “no”
to this one. Giving the internet
your number is one thing; giving
them your address is a whole
other level. It would be much
easier for criminals to find you.
• Your home phone number
This shared information is more
risky than sharing your personal
phone number. Scams usually
use this information to deceive
you, one of which is when a
stranger pretends to know your
parents or pretends to be you.
• Your birthday
Letting people know your
birthday is probably a must if
you want to get as many gifts as
possible. But having it in your
profile makes you vulnerable to
identity theft.
 Tips to Stay Online
1. Be mindful of what you share
online and what site you share it
to.
2. Do not just accept terms and
condition; read it.

online or face-to-face.
Tips to Stay Online

vacation. It Is similar to posting “Rob
my house at this date”.
9. Add friends you know in life.
10. Avoid visiting un-trusted
websites.
11. Install and update an antivirus
software. Use only one anti-virus
software to avoid conflict.
 Tips to Stay Online
12. If you have Wi-Fi at home, make it
private network by adding a password.
13. Avoid downloading anything from
untrusted websites. You are most
vulnerable in peer-to-peer
downloads(torrents) as the download is
most like not monitored by the site
owner.
 Tips to Stay Online
14. Buy the software; do not use
pirated ones.
15. Do not reply or click links from
suspicious emails.

 Think before you click
1) Before you post something on the
web, ask these questions to
yourself: Would you want your
parents or grandparents to see it?
Would you want your future boss to
see it? Once you post something on
the web, you have no control of who
sees your posts.

2) Your friends depend on you to
protect their reputation online.
Talk to your friends about this
serious responsibility.

this way search engines will not
be able to scan that post.
Think before you click
4) Avoid using names. Names are
easy for search engines to
scan.
5) If you feel that a post can
affect you or other reputation,
ask the one who posted it to
pull down or report it as
inappropriate.

literacy works, photographs,
paintings, drawings films, music &
lyrics, choreography, and sculpture,
but generally does NOT protect
underlying facts and ideas. This
means you can express something
using your own words, but you
should give credit to the source.
Here are some tips that could help you
avoid copyright infringement.

material does not say that it is
copyrighted, it is a valid defense
against copyright. Be responsible
enough to know if something has
a copyright.
Here are some tips that could help you
avoid copyright infringement.
3. Be creative. – Ask yourself
whether what you are making
that came from you or
something made by somebody
else’s creativity. It is important to
add your own creative genius in
everything that will be credited
to you.
Here are some tips that could help you
avoid copyright infringement.
4. Know the law. – There are some
limitations to copyright laws. For
instance in the Philippines,
copyright last a lifetime(of the
author) plus 50 years. There are also
provisions for “fair use” which
means that an intellectual
