MyCyberFriend's Internet Safety Tips
- Keep your passwords private, even from your best friend! Your online service will never ask for them, so neither should anyone else.
- Use only your Log-in Name and/or e-mail address when chatting or sending e-mail. Never give out personal information like your name, address, or phone number.
- Always delete unknown e-mail attachments. They can contain destructive viruses.
- Remember that nothing you write on the Web is completely private -- including e-mail. So be careful and think about what you type and who you tell.
- People are not always as nice, cute, or funny as they may sound online. Never make plans to meet an online "friend" in person.
