That’s exactly what can happen to your computer when you aren’t careful!
![Page 4: Cyber Security Anchorage School District – 7 th grade Internet Safety](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649ea35503460f94ba703e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Something called “malicious code” can get into your computer and mess things up without
you even knowing it.
![Page 5: Cyber Security Anchorage School District – 7 th grade Internet Safety](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649ea35503460f94ba703e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Viruses, worms and Trojan Horses are all types of
“malicious code” that can enter your computer and harm or even destroy your files. Has
that ever happened to anyone?
![Page 6: Cyber Security Anchorage School District – 7 th grade Internet Safety](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649ea35503460f94ba703e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Malicious code can slow down your computer, cause
files to run incorrectly, or even cause it to stop working completely.
![Page 7: Cyber Security Anchorage School District – 7 th grade Internet Safety](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649ea35503460f94ba703e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
It can also replicate itself and you can
accidentally send it to your friends. Malicious
code can cost thousands of dollars
worth of damage in no time at all!

Does anyone know how your computer gets
infected with malicious code????
![Page 9: Cyber Security Anchorage School District – 7 th grade Internet Safety](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649ea35503460f94ba703e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
One way your computer gets infected is through
Internet-related activities.
E-mail I-Ming
File-sharingDownloading files

Take action:
There are things you can do to reduce your risk of
infection.

•Don’t open e-mail attachments from people you don’t know. IF you open an attachment from a friend, be sure to save it before
opening it.
•Use anti-virus software and
install a firewall on your home
computer.
![Page 12: Cyber Security Anchorage School District – 7 th grade Internet Safety](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649ea35503460f94ba703e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Use passwords that are hard to guess by using a combination of letters and numbers.
• Don’t share your passwords with anyone, including your friends. Friends change.
Don’t respond to spam or ‘phish’ email. Your response can lead to more trouble. (Phishing is when someone pretends to be a company such as Amazon or a bank and asks for information.)

•Disconnect your computer from the Internet when it is not in use.
•Don’t use file sharing software or download programs without your parent’s permission.
Use caution before you fall into a hole and can’t get out!

Another security problem with the Internet is:
Identity theft!
![Page 15: Cyber Security Anchorage School District – 7 th grade Internet Safety](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649ea35503460f94ba703e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Thousands of identity thefts occur each year
and that number is increasing. Every year
people lose thousands of dollars.
![Page 16: Cyber Security Anchorage School District – 7 th grade Internet Safety](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649ea35503460f94ba703e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The best way to prevent identify theft is:
Don’t ever give out private information on the Internet.
Some examples of private information are:
Your social security number, your phone number, your full name, or your credit card number. If you aren’t sure if it’s private, ask an adult.

The Internet is a wonderful place to get information and to communicate. Use some caution and you can protect yourself and your computer.
