When you hear adults saying, \u201ckids are helpless,\u201d it makes you angry, right? You bet it does even if you are the most self-sustained teen in the history of your family. Unfortunately, the phrase often becomes a blanket statement due to folks who: mindlessly abuse their parents\u2019 credit cards by buying stuff for mobile games or readily download games or apps from unreliable, sometimes obviously, websites that install Trojans and other pieces of malware.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s not beat around the bush and lay it out simply:: don\u2019t be a naive slowpoke. Taking an interest in online security you can\u2019t afford to believe that the Internet is a place of cute fairy unicorns and beautiful people. The World Wide Web is a direct reflection of real world full of good guys and bad guys. There are no angels on the Web, but criminals do inhabit this uncontrollable place and use its anonymity for their own sake.<\/p>\n
We are not telling you this to scare you or to turn you into a goody two shoes. But you do need to be more vigilant for yourself and for your parents, especially if they neglect online security. Unfortunately, there are too many adults who do not follow even\u00a0basic Internet security rules<\/a>, choose\u00a0weakest passwords ever<\/a>\u00a0and fall for\u00a0well-known phishing baits<\/a>. But who said you can\u2019t be better than them in this game and even teach them a thing or two?<\/p>\n
