question 7

                                     Digital security



In the real world there are many dangers and hazards we have to look out for similarly in the digital world we also must be aware of the hazards that await us. online security is no joke in today's day and age since almost anything can be done online today we have to remain safe while carrying out our daily online tasks there are many cases of cyber bullying, online theft, hackers, identity theft, fraud, online banking systems are being hacked into.


 online security is a real and major issue out here today there are methods to protect yourself such as having firewalls etc. these hackers are even sending viruses to our systems and shutting them down. but it also depends on you if you do not access these sketchy sites this is likely to not happen like wise there are rules and regulations you must follow on the internet because everything that you do and post on the internet can be traced back to you and could have major repercussions such as you could post something nasty online and then when applying for a job could lose the job because of that one nasty post or comment that you made years ago when they did a background check on you. how you carry yourself online is how you carry yourself in the real world because lets face it we are living in a complete digital world now.


you should install firewalls and anti virus, be very careful of what you post and what you say online for example do not just go giving your exact location and personal information away, only access safe and secure sites, be wary of online banking and take precaution to whatever you do online.
