LANSING, MI (WHTC) – Today is Safer Internet Day.
Michigan Attorney General is encouraging everyone to use today to brush up on practices that help protect your privacy. Schutte recommends this short video for tips on how to stay safe on the internet. The tips include:
- Check privacy settings – filtering by preference who can see your location, posts, photos, and other information.
- Don’t give out personal information – If someone you don’t know contacts you for payment information, passwords, or other details, don’t give them anything. Hang up the phone and call or email the organization directly.
- Contact Law enforcement – if you encounter a real threat or suspicious behavior make sure to report it to the authorities.
Safer Internet Day is an international education and awareness-raising effort spanning more than 100 countries.
