Translations:AY Honors/Internet/Answer Key 2/96/en

1. Do not reply to unknown emails or Spam. Doing so verifies a “real” email address and will receive even more junk email.
2. Do not open emails with attachments unless you are SURE that they’re safe and that your antivirus program is fully updated (most are auto-updated).
3. Report to a trustworthy and safe adult any material sent to you in email that is mean, harmful to you or someone else, or contains inappropriate images or materials and let your parent delete or remove that email message.
4. Never follow to "unsubscribe" directions in a spam or UCE (unwanted commercial email) message.
5. Keep your computer's operating system current.
6. Do not open links from untrusted senders.
7. Never give out your username and password to any website over email.
8. Beware of Phishing attempts. (Messages that sound like it could be true but ask you to give money, log into an account to check information, or respond about information.) Do not give personal information or click any links.
9. NEVER click a link to log into a website from an email unless you CAREFULLY check the URL of the website and the email address of the sender for anything suspicious before entering your log-in information (sometimes they can look very similar, sometimes it is better to not use a link to log in if you aren't sure).
10. If possible, turn on two-factor authentication to secure your email login (may require a mobile phone).
