What is It
As our society faces the ‘new normal’, most of our daily tasks now need the
assistance of Information and Communication Technologies. Thanks to the internet,
because we can now meet and communicate with each other online. Paying bills,
buying goods, growing your network of friends and even learning can be done online.
Life now is almost turning to digital media. According to (Preston n.d.), digital media
is any form of media that uses electronic devices for distribution. This form of media
can be created, viewed, modified and distributed via electronic devices. And it is very
important that you not only know how to use and deal with these technologies but it
is necessary to know the different threats brought by the internet and be equipped
on how to keep your private information safe and secure online. Private
information is your sensitive personal information or your identity such as your
username and passwords or bank accounts. Even though the government has
already set a policy, the Republic Act 10173 or the Data Privacy Act of 2012, that
9
is to protect the fundamental human right of privacy, of communication while
ensuring free flow of information to promote innovation and growth (Republic Act
10173 – Data Privacy Act of 2012 n.d.), it is important to have the knowledge of
maximizing your private information in order to keep it safe and secure is called
online safety or web safety or internet safety. It is also necessary to apply ethics
and etiquette online to avoid problems in facing digital media.
The following are some of the internet threats you need to be aware of:
10
common way to get a virus (Christensson, Virus Definition 2011).
Pop-ads - a type of window that appears on top of (over) the browser window of a
Web site that a user has visited (Pop-up Ad n.d.). It is also
called as pop-up ads. It can also be used by hackers to steal
your personal information (such as your bank details).
Clicking pop-up ads can redirect you to sites that can
infect your computer and system files (What Causes Pop-up
Ads and How to Remove Them 2019).
Hacker - a clever or expert programmer who can gain
unauthorized access to other computers. He can "hack" his way
through the security levels of a computer system or network
(Christensson, Hacker Definition 2006). And can vandalizes the
victims’ website, steals personal information, obtains
intellectual property, and performs credit card fraud.
11
There are also common threats to personal safety. They are the following:
Cyberbullying - is bullying that takes place over digital devices like cell phones,
computers, and tablets. It can occur through SMS, Text, and
apps, or online in social media, forums, or gaming where people
can view, participate in, or share content. It includes sending,
posting, or sharing negative, harmful, false, or mean content
about someone else like sharing personal or private information
causing embarrassment or humiliation. Some cyberbullying
crosses the line into unlawful or criminal behavior (What Is Cyberbullying 2020).
In order for you to be safe and you can protect your private information while you
are working online, you need to know and apply online ethics and etiquette.
Online ethics focuses on the acceptable use of online resources in an online social
environment. Netiquette is a combination of the words network and etiquette and
is defined as a set of rules for acceptable online behaviour (What is Netiquette? A
Guide to Online Ethics and Etiquette n.d.).
12
10 Basic Rules of Netiquette
The rules of etiquette are just as important in cyberspace as they are in the real
world (Hartney 2020)
Avoid sending naked sexy pictures, drunk pictures, drug use pictures or
unedited home video. If you would have a problem with your boss, your parents,
or your kids seeing it now, or at any point in the future, don't post it online.
Children should not post private information online. Do not also share your
location or picture where you are currently at. Keep your personal information
private.
13
7. Fact Check Before Reposting
If you aren't sure of the facts that you’re going to repost, email it to
someone who does know or can find out. Or do a search on Google or snopes.com.
Because once you’ve reposted a fake news or false facts, many can possibly believe
it and spread once again. Don't forget also that many viruses are circulated via
chain letters and invitations. So forwarding or reposting this kind of messages
will not bring good luck but rather bad luck. Don’t forget to cite the owner of the
post or where it came from. And before posting, check whether it is appropriate
or inappropriate to others.
What’s More
In the table below, mark with a check ( ) the internet threats that can be
avoided in doing each netiquette. Internet threats are represented by letter in
the table under Internet Threats column.
