You are responsible for digital interactions and operations taking place using your accounts or on accounts administrated by you. You should work to prevent harm from resulting from any of that activity.

Understanding how criminals—and careless administrators—can put your data at risk is critical to learning how to protect yourself and the users you’re responsible for.

Before engaging in online activity, always try to think through the possible short- and long-term consequences. Is what you’re about to do likely to cause you or others harm?

Reading the privacy policy documents associated with the platforms and services you use can help you understand the threat environment you’ll be using.

Always examine the context of online information: is it part of a reliable website or associated with a well-known institution?

Be aware of the kinds of threats you’re likely to face as you go about your life on the internet. Only by understanding what can go wrong can you hope to protect yourself and the people who rely on you.
