Safety issues with using
blog sites
Security:
If people write as there statues saying “can’t wait until I go on holiday tomorrow” or saying stuff like there out people will no that you’re not going to be out and they can bugle you and also If you say you are home alone this can be dangerous as you could get kidnapped or very badly abused.so be very careful what you write to the WORLD!
Websites: if you are user on MySpace, twitter, Facebook,MSN,always go on your privacy settings and turn off your location and any private stuff were people could hunt you down so this way.
Cyber bulling: cyber bulling is
very high this year as people are getting bulled in school and then they carry it on Facebook or other websites, cyber bulling can start with pictures being put up that you don wont or a personal statues. Cyber bulling can lead to all sorts of things even suideicide. So always be careful what you share and don’t if you don’t want to.
Cyber stalking:
Over 800,000 children reported missing annually, approximately 69,000 are abducted and this is because people are not safe on the internet e.g:  if you go on web chats or talk to people you don’t know there’s a very high risk that they are not who they say they are or pedos. Never meet up with people on these websites as they could kidnap you because you never who they are.
Data leaks: data leaks are confidential stuff. If you work and you are talking about a new project and another company founds out about it they could use it. It’s where you give away very private stuff but you don’t realize it and it can also get you into a lot of trouble.
Phishing: phishing is where somebody be tends to be a person from the bank or a company and they get all your private details and bank details and they can get anything with the money they can go  in your account.
Key loggers: key loggers are people that spy on you for your password so they can access your account and look at your emails.
Data theft: Data theft is a growing problem most lee with office workers with access to technology such as desktop computers and hand-held devices capable of storing digital information such as USB flash drives, iPod's and even digital cameras.
Firewalls: The term "fire wall" originally meant, and still means, a fireproof wall intended to prevent the spread of fire from one room or area of a building to another. The Internet is a volatile and unsafe environment when viewed from a computer-security perspective, therefore "firewall" is an excellent metaphor for network security.
Regularly changing passwords: One reason is that you have to keep changing your password and never share it with nobody. You should never use the same passwords on multiple sites and “share their passwords”), etc., very often users will do exactly that. So, every 90 days, you change your password and you cut off everyone with who you previously shared your password with sharing your password cam really cause a lot of bad things with your computer.
