Safeguard Personal Information
Increasingly, our online privacy is harder and harder to safeguard. There are many ways, our personal information may be captured, sold, copied, stolen, harvested by bots, and made public. The more personal information someone has about you the more at risk your personal information is for being abused, misused, or manipulated.

Make sure you are always conscious about what information you are providing to other people or websites on the internet.
