    We all spend a lot of time on the internet so it's important that we learn how to stay safe online. Here are a few tips:

    1) Make sure that the password you create has at least eight characters. Use a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters. The password would also be extra strong if there is at least one number and a special character.

    2) Always be careful when you share information online especially through social media sites.

    3) Never give your social security number unless it's really urgent.

    4) Install a Web Application Firewall to protect your system from being hacked. Here are a few tips about it ( http://protectionplus.ca/blog/how-to-secure-your-website-from-being-hacked/ ).

    First, No, you are not safe on the internet!
    And as I'minmyunderwear just stated, so eloquently, I agree

    3) Never give your social security number unless it's really urgent. Who the fuck would it be urgent to?

    OMG Lame

    I am always well protected on the internet.

    I wear a bicycle helmet, knee, elbow and wrist pads and big shoulder pads like NFL players. :)

    And a seatbelt. I always wear a seatbelt online.
