How safe is it PERIOD, on the NET???
It's a regular day your online browsing the net and find an interesting magazine you want to subscribe. So you fill in the blanks, your name , address, number etc. A day later you have trillions of subscribing info to other companies in your inbox. You've just been sent to everything practically. The net is squeezing every penny and benefit they can find and once they've got you they dont want to let you go. From your last 4 digits of your social and your credit card info almost anyone can get on to see it all. Everything is possible...who knows with one click away someone might just know your whole government, LITERALLY. The police of University of Oklahoma site(http://www.ou.edu/oupd/idtheft3b.htm#OHMY)posts a list of ways to know if you have been a victim of identity theft and how to prevent it. Amongst them are checking if the deliviring address is correct call the number and make sure its legitimate. Using credit instead of debit is better when buying something offline because you can easily dispute it. Not opening spam mail and unknown email addresses. Below is a video of internet privacy and how google is supposedly selling our information and supporting it, of course it may not all be true but it was a funny description of the new "big brother" GOOGLE.
Below is also a video of internet safety and how the internet is becoming a "playground for criminals."
