Thieves can also use your information to ruin your good name, steal your medical history, take away your sense of safety, or misuse images of you.

The good news is that the number of identity fraud cases has gradually decreased in recent years. Still, the total cost of identity theft to society is enormous. ======

 Though most victims are discovering the abuse earlier, it now takes longer on average to eliminate fraudulent transactions from credit reports and other sources than ever before. Having your identity stolen may also be very difficult emotionally: feelings of violation, powerlessness, and frustration may feel overwhelming. ======

Age apparently doesn’t matter. Because credit checks don’t verify age, parents or relatives who pilfer a child’s ,identity can take out loans, open new credit cards, and create gas, electric or telephone accounts.

“All it takes is a parent taking and putting the child’s Social Security down on an application,” said Linda Foley.

Child identity theft is a crime that has taken a few decades to ferment. In the early 1980s, the Internal Revenue Service asked the Social Security Administration to give all children Social Security numbers. Now, those youngsters are reaching the age when they use those numbers.

I know when I was a kid I always wanted to click on the popups that had blinking lights all around it and said something like you are the 1000000 visiter you just won $100000, click here to learn more.Well don't, when you do that sometimes people could access your computer just by clicking on it, or access your credit card account by giving them your information.

Every age group has unique vulnerabilities in addition to general Internet risks, and seniors are no exception. Few entirely new types of crime are created to target seniors; the issue lies in how existing crimes are tailored specifically to exploit older Internet users.

A chat room can be a very dangerous place. but it is useful you just have to know how to use it. One thing is for sure NEVER enter a chat room when you don't know who it is, even if they say there someone they could be someone else. Get the username directly from the friend that you want to chat with, This way you know its that person. Also if its a video chat NEVER take off any of your clothe in front of the camera. And if someone asks you to do so and you don't want to get off right away and never chat with him again.

**//__Phishing __//****//: //** Seniors: In addition to being targeted for different types of crime, seniors may share characteristics that make them vulnerable online. Here are some of the major factors that make seniors vulnerable.

Phishing scams frequently target seniors with ‘bank notices’ or official looking ‘government documents’.

Everybody You have to be careful when you open your e-mails. Because you could open an e-mail that says its from one place but really its from a scammer or someone that only wants your money.

If you don't know the e-mail address don't open the e-mail. people can access your computer through a e-mail just by you opening it.

**//__<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif';">Sexing: __//** ===<span style="color: #ba18ba; font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; font-size: 29.3333px;">Kids <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; font-size: 29.3333px;">, and <span style="color: #5eb72a; font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; font-size: 29.3333px;">Teens === Sexing is sending nude pictures of yourself to somebody else. Through your cellphone.

If you send or receive a nude picture of someones body and your under 18, then you could get fined or possible go to jail. You could also get fined for alot of money. So if you receive a nude pic tell your parent or guardian and they will know what to do.

Scams are things that people do to get money information and on about you to get into your bank account to get all your money so they can use it. But you can prevent this by not clicking on the pop-ups and deleting the e-mails that you get that you don't know where they came from <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; font-size: 24px;">media type="youtube" key="_KecjG6HnNc" height="230" width="303"
 * //__<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif';">Scammers: __// **

The way ‘free’ services make money is not by selling advertising. What they sell is access to you, and information about you to advertisers, marketers and researchers, and others. Your information is also used by others looking to track people for various purposes.

Every piece of information you post, and every action you take online has commercial value to someone. That isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Your information helps companies provide you ads that are more targeted to your interests, it helps researchers know what kind of products to design, and so on. But your information is also used in negative and sometimes criminal ways. For example:

• By someone who wants to embarrass or bully you.

• Plagiarists who want to claim your content as their own

• By companies who want to use your information in ways that act against your interests

• Insurance companies are using information posted on blogs to deny coverage of medical claims, car accident claims, and so on.

• Companies may reject your job application, find reasons to fire you, and so on.

• By criminal organizations or individuals building profiles of people to scam, steal identities, hijack computers, find interesting homes to break into or cars to steal, people to physically harm, and so on.

As you provide information consider how it is being sold, bought, or simply taken and make sure you’re okay with potential outcomes. Learn how information as a commodity relates to taking surveys, chat, discussion boards, and forums, online dating, creating safe personal e-mail aliases, sharing Images and Video, and gaming online.

//<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; font-size: 38.6667px;">Adults //<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; font-size: 38.6667px;">:
Cyberbullying isn't just for kids. It never was. But when adults are involved, it's called "cyberharassment" not "cyberbullying." Its the same thing as cyberbullying for kids just it's for adults. And Adults can still get hurt by it.

//<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif';">Kids: //
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; font-size: 130%;">Anybody can get cyberbullied and kids these days all over the world are getting cyber bullied because there not taking the right percausions. <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; font-size: 130%;">- You should first get out of the conversation if your involled and don’t comment because you might regret what you say or they could use it against you <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; font-size: 130%;">- Second tell an adult, consler, group leader, or gardian. <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; font-size: 130%;">- Ask for help on the situation <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; font-size: 130%;">- If its on Facebook you could block them so they won’t be able to comment on your page anymore.

**//__<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; font-size: 42.6667px;">Passwords: __//** <span style="color: #ff0f1a; font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; font-size: 42.6667px;"> You should always change your password at least once a year, so if someone did figure out your password they wouldn't be able to get in anymore. And also you shouldn't use the same password for everything. Because lets say you use the same password for your bank account, iTunes and e-mail, if some one were to figure out the password to one thing they could get into everything else that has that password.
