Using the Internet Safely For Seniors

Figure 3-8

➟ Many seniors head back to school in later years. Be

sure your school does not expose student informa-

tion on their Web sites if the general public can

access those sites. If they post photos and identify

students by last name this put you at risk. Posting

schedules of after-school activities along with infor-

mation about which activities a student participates

in makes you physically locatable.

Be Careful What You Share Online

Before sharing information online, consider what you are sharing (how

sensitive the information is) and who you want to share the information

Avoid revealing too much information
