Cyber Crime Prevention

 

• Think before you post

 

• Facebook and MySpace have joined with Law Enforcement to catch criminals on the internet

 

• We have to come up with creative solutions

 

1.) Empower the user to control who contacts them

 

       2.) Do not give them information like where you live? etc

 

• The first line of defense is parents and teachers

 

• The internet is like the Ocean listen to the life guard, Coast Guard, and Navy

 

• Welcome to the unknown (the images of the internet)

 

• Cyber crime is true and real crimes (physical and internet are the same)

 

• You would not go to certain areas in Los Angeles but we go to all kind of areas on the internet

 

• The internet is no more safer than on the street

 

• We have to arm ourselves with tools

 

• The internet can be harsher and more mental than on the street

 

• We have to understand that the internet is changing all the time

• Stealing an individual’s name and password to a social networking site, then using their profile to post rumors, gossip, or other damaging information

 

• Using web sites and blogs to post hurtful, embarrassing information about another individual
