By design the Internet was created with the principles of open access and sharing as fundamentals of the technology. This has enabled hundreds of thousand of people to collaborate, innovate, learn and create the millions of pages that we now use. Unfortunately this same open access and sharing can be used by deceitful people to trick others into fake look-alike websites who’s purpose is usually to collect the user’s id and password. This is especially true of banks, and other financial institutions · Banks will not send email messages to customers requesting · Secure sites have a special prefix (HTTPS://) as opposed to the regular non secure access (HTTP://) all secure sites should have a certificate that is automatically sent to the client computer, if the site doesn’t have a certificate verify it first before you access it. · Don’t send any money or information to that poor widow in South Africa who will send you $1,000,000 if you only send her $50 to arrange for her husband’s fortune. · Keep your antivirus up to date and don’t open any suspicious attachments, simply delete them.
