Internet : Internet
is defined as a global network of interconnected networks.
Now a days, internet and social media is an
integral part of everyone’s life due to its benefits. But we should be careful
while using it, otherwise we have to face the risks like :
viruses, worms, and other types
of malware , trojans, spyware, adware and hackers . This type of internet
dangers can cause harm to an individual’s computer which would result in
financial harm. Software-related dangers can also lead to privacy
issues and potential identity theft.
Risks to user safety include abusive behavior
or cyber bullying, inappropriate behavior, grooming and
sexploitation. These risks can appear in a variety of different contexts, e.g:
chat rooms, text messages, e-mail, social networking sites, online games and
instant messaging. Risks to privacy include phishing and identity theft.
These risks generally result from the activity
of malicious individuals and/or groups, rather than being software-driven. They
are likely to be directed against people, rather than computers, so they
are among the more dangerous types of threat.
