you shouldn't give your private information online niether to people you have never met in person for instans like where you live,phone number,country, city ect.

Online tools can be also used as a copy of other online tools which have hacking targets, you would believe them and use the fake online networks who can lead you to certain consequences.

Many online tools can be misused. Somebody can hack into your account somebody can steal information about you others can steal money if you have an online bank account. So in many ways the internet is not safe and online tool can be misused a lot of the time

If the social network is new it should not have many numbers of users with what we can not be sure if that social network is safe. if you are not sure of the safety of some online tool or online network you can also investigate through social networks that you consider as safe and to see what opinions and experiences have other people with the same online tool or social network.

To find out if the site where we are searching is secure for us, we must check the creator of the page, articles, and posts that they are writing.

Our or some of our personal information is constantly misused for various reasons of fraud, theft and, most often, theft of personal identity.

Create a passcode on all your devices such as mobiles and laptops.Don’t forget to log out when using shared machines, remembering to do this both on any online accounts and the machine itself.

1. Social networking means opening up and sharing information online with others, but there’s some information you should never share online. Protecting yourself from sharing Too Much Information (TMI) can save you from identity theft and even protect your physical safety. So let's start with the obvious … never share your social security number (including even just the last 4 digits), your birth date, home address or home phone number (although sharing your business phone is ok ). Of course, you should protect all of your passwords, PIN numbers, bank account and credit card information.

But I advise you to never share the state where you were born as this information can be used to obtain your social security number and other identity information. Facebook, for example, allows you to restrict who can see your birthday or your hometown (often times the same as your city of birth.) But not every site has these options. In those cases avoid the problem altogether by not entering information you don’t want to share. If the sites you are using don’t offer these kinds of protections, e-mail them and request these features. If enough of us make the request, they’ll get the message.

2. I think that everybody who are using social networkk are in danger because they are unconscious of sharing their personal data like some personal adreses pictures passwords and etc..every information that is provided online is a big help for the hackers to do something,Anyway i think its enough to just share your name and surname.Everybody should use privacy settings to limit access to your information.Never include any information that can help thieves steal your identity, such as your address, phone number or even employment information.

3. Most organizations gather and store a large amount of sensitive data. Client databases with personal and financial information, internal documentation detailing trade secrets, content and technologies produced by an organization, etc. Employees, sub-contractors, and third-party vendors often access this data on a daily basis. This opens the very real possibility for data to be misused, either intentionally for personal gain, or inadvertently.
There are a number of ways to go about it. In this post, we will cover the 4 most effective methods of detecting and preventing misuse of data such as : monitor data access, monitor user actions, making yourself sure that your system is well protected.

Well you can't be always so sure about the internet groups or people . You can check the pictures at first you can recognize if it's photoshop or you can ask around about that person . If you already chat with the person that you don't know in life you can just ask that person to have a video chat with you if there is always excuese it's a fake person. We must check the creator of the page,choose your social network carefully, check the privacy policy , see who is the creator of that group or webside , if this side want you to send a lot of information about you i don't think it's safe. Be carefull all the time social network is dangerous.

What information should you provide online?
Don't give out personal information (name, age, address, phone number, social security number) to strangers.
Don't open attachments from strangers (or friends) without scanning them with an up-to-date anti-virus program.
Use an online name that doesn't reveal your gender or age
Use passwords that meet the highest standards of privacy. Avoid using common words, pet names, or common word combinations. Instead, use combinations of upper and lowercase letters/characters along with numbers. And, don't give your password out to anyone.
Never post you're location , banking information or credit cards

Social networking sites increasingly give users more control over their own privacy settings. Don’t assume you have to take whatever default settings the site gives you. Check out the settings, configuration and privacy sections to see what options you have to limit who and what groups can see various aspects of your personal information. Facebook probably has some of the broadest privacy options, giving you control where no one, friends, friends and networks, or everyone can see basic info, personal info, photos, friends and postings. I thing the social network is not safe for use.

Can online tools be misused? Give examples.
Even though social networking sites keep people connected and have many other great uses, there are also some disadvantages and ways these sites can be misused. However, social networking sites have become an established part of everyday life for many people, and they aren't going away anytime soon. Therefore, it's very important to acknowledge the problems that have accompanied this huge increase in popularity. Below is a list of several misuses and disadvantages that can be associated with blogs, chat rooms, virtual worlds, and specific social networking sites like Facebook.
Many young people don't make good choices about what to include on their profiles. In fact, in a survey of Britsh teens, it was found that 39 percent had posted something which they regretted later. Consequently, such students leave "digital footprints" that may be harmful in the future. Employers could look at their Facebook profiles and see pictures of illegal actions, for example.
A very serious problem which is related to loss of privacy is sexual predation on social networking sites.

Unfortunately, it is not easy to identify is the social network safe or not. Sometimes we got information e-mail message from the provider that there is a threat.

Only official and polite vocabulary should be used in communication.

Online tools can be misused. There are many examples when hackers misuse social networks to attack official profiles. Blogs, chat rooms, virtual worlds, and specific social networking sites like Facebook for example.

Here are some quick tips that you can use to tell if a site is secure.
*check the SSL Certificate
*look at the Domain
*look for Signs that the Company Is Real

The online threats are all around us so the best is to provide only you first and last name,not to provide your passwords of different accounts,your birth date and etc.

Yes online tools can be misused and there diferent examples like:blogs,virtual talks,bulling,also stoling your identity..

You shouldn't provide any personal informations online because with that you're putting your life in danger. Also you should avoid sharing your credit cards information. The best information about you recommended for the internet is your Name and Last name. With leaving informations about you like your home adress, location, credit card on the internet you think that noone can see it but you are lying yourself. There are not just hackers who can hurt you. Random friends that you have on facebook, instagram are waiting for you to share ur location on the story or in a post so the can welcome themself in your house.

By opening our devices like mobile phone, computer we need to say goodbye to our safety. They are watching, following every our step and just waiting for the right moment to hurt us somehow. Safe actually came from safe access for everyone but when we connect it with the word network it isn't that “safe“. I think that there is not safe page on the internet bc if someone put target on us, thats it.. He’s gonna find a way to hurt us. If it seems that something is wrong with the page or the app we are using, we should look for opinion of people who had the same problem.

With the use of online tools the hackers also can find their victims. They are putting ads for some “rewards“ in which they are looking for informations like adress, credit card info, in order to hurt you. Tools on the net can be misused if on the everything that pops out on your screen you are writing your personal information. If there is too many ads on the site you are working you should avoid using that site. The largest base of the threats is in big and popular applications. But however the threats can be found in the most unexpected and unpopular apps.

We should share posts and statuses with understanding language, so our thoughts won't be misunderstood and used against us.

You can never be sure if the social media is completely sure, because you couldn't know who is hiding behind the monitor. You should always be cautious with what you share in order to save your privacy.

Protect yourself when you use social networks
1. Don’t trust that a message really is from whom it says it’s from. Hackers can break into accounts and send messages that look like they’re from your friends, but aren’t. If you suspect that a message is fraudulent, use an alternate method to contact your friend to find out. This includes invitations to join new social networks.
2. To avoid giving away e-mail addresses of your friends, do not allow social networking services to scan your e-mail address book. When you join a new social network, you might receive an offer to enter your e-mail address and password to find out if your contacts are on the network. The site might use this information to send e-mail messages to everyone in your contact list or even everyone you’ve ever sent an e-mail message to with that e-mail address. Social networking sites should explain that they’re going to do this, but some do not.

I will advice you to not provide any personal informations about you bc maybe there is someone who is looking for a way to hurt you or your family. By the personal informations i mean like you adress, youр Unique Master Citizen Number, your credit cards infos etc. Also you should advice ur friends to do the same thing. There aren't only the hackers who can put ur life in risk. Your "friends" on Facebook, Instagram can also do that. By sharing ur location you are just making it easier for them (ex. You are with ur family on vacation and that means that there is nobody in your house, so the thiefs will enter in it) .

Discovering if the site that we are using it, is safe or not is a little bit hard bc first of all WE as a on in a 7 billion people in the world don't expect to be a victim of a crime, later we think that if the site is very popular it means that is also safe bc everyone is somehow thrusting in the people that are using that site. But that isnt't the way it is. Behind the popular sites there is a lot of people that are hiding behind theirs mask and pretending to be someone else. They are writing comments, publishing post, texting with their victims and just looking for a way to in some way put lifes in risk. If the page took a little bit longer to load and also uses a lot of cookies - ads we should take a break and stop using that site.

If the group or the person spreads negative thoughts and hatred we should avoid them by deleting or blocking that contact or person.

We shouldn’t share our private information maybe only the name and surname and that should be shared with the people we know in private life.

Online tools can be easily misleading and can cause a lot of problems. For example the apps, that the person is allowing their cameras and microphones, can illegally use the camera and can easily monitor you. To prevent this you shouldn’t allow certain websites or apps to use the camera or after every successful video chat or usage of the camera you should turn off the permission.

There are lots of reasons (most of them bad) why someone might impersonate or falsify an identity online. It could be as a prank or for “fun” such as those who impersonate a celebrity as satire. Faking an identity has a legit side too – it can be used by people who simply want to conceal who they are in order to protect their real identities. But its also the first step of those who want to embarrass or defame someone else by impersonating them, or steal an identity for financial gain or other crimes. Two security researchers demonstrated at the Defcon/Black Hat 2008 conference how easy it is to set up a Facebook or LinkedIn site using a false or impersonated identity, including links to malicious sites.

1.First you need to check up for the webpage is it real, with real url, realistic posts, and also the feedback of the users of the social web site is also very important thing for identifying the safety of using some page. The indentification of the groups safety is so much easier than identify safeness of some web page. The main thing of identify is to look up for the group description what is about, or to look up for the members, are they real people with kindness who are providing real safe group.

2. The information that you can provide online is your Name , Surname. You can write also your education profile, or your State of living only on websites that you think that it's safe and right place to put the info below. It's not okay to put online many more things like your birth date, your ID number, your conto number, passport number etc.

3.Online tools can be misused by people who are doing misusing like hackers. For example, online tools for social media are misused for stealing somebody identity for some reasons.

Keep safe by being careful not to give out personal information – such as your full name, e-mail address, passwords, phone number, home address, photos or school name – either to people you are chatting with online or by posting it online where other people can see it. Social media use shouldn’t be discouraged, but it’s a parent's role to make sure that social media is used responsibly, and that your children are aware of the tools at their disposal to make social media a safe environment for them.

The main goal of safe use of the facebook social network is to assess the level of awareness of primary and secondary school students about the right to privacy and the protection of pupils' personal data, especially the use of social networks, the appearance of hate speech on social networks, as well as knowledge of the reporting mechanisms and what are the relevant institutions for responding when reporting a violation of the right to protection of personal data. in this way we can be protected from online radicalization and extremism. the most important thing is not to give our personal information to all online friends, and at the same time to avoid all kinds of friendships on social networks such as beautiful and sympathetic photos of guys and girls with whom we will be fooled for friendship.(google translate -macedonian-england)

The Internet should only provide basic information about us such as (name and surname) and there is no need to get into the private life.
It is enough for people to be informed "who we are" because if we give too much information about us, someone can abuse them.

For the safe use of social networks, it is very important for us primary and secondary school students to be properly and accurately informed about the right to privacy and the protection of personal data of students, especially the use of social networks, the appearance of hate speech on social networks , as well as knowing which institutions are able to protect us from radicalism and extremism and how to protect personal data. In this way, we will try to be disturbed by online radicalization and extremism. The most important thing is that our personal information is not to be seen by all online friends, and at the same time we avoid all kinds of friendships on social networks, which will help us to be friends.
