Digital Citizenship: Internet Safety and Suspicious Links

What is this funny commercial really talking about?




Answer: This video is really about Internet safety.  When surfing the web, you must be very, very careful on what links you click on.  Some links must download "viruses" that, in essence, make you computer sick and steal your personal and private information.  This is called "malware".  Others may take you to a site that looks like a real legitimate site like for your bank, but is really a fake site that asks you to input your personal or private information.  This is called "phishing".  A general word of caution.  If you're not absolutely sure where a link takes you, then don't click on it.  Especially if you get an email from a person you don't know.
