How To Protect Your Identity On The Internet

How do I protect my identity on the Internet?

If you're going to be on the internet for any length of time, there are a couple of guidelines you have to follow to protect your identity. If you're going on a website then make sure it's a trusted website. If it asks you for your information - if you have to put in your credit card or your social security number - make sure it's a website that you trust. If you're not sure, don't do it. The website should always have the name of the company that you are going to. If it has a series of numbers, it's probably a fake website and you have to avoid it. Other than that be careful. Use a username and a password that only you know and even if you have to create a new one, that's better than losing your identity to a thief who's out there fishing for some information.
