Staying safe online
10 August 2008 @ 18:41 in Tutorials
I’ve
been wanting to write this for ages: my guide to staying
safe online is now available in the Tutorials section. It’s a
best practice guide covering lots of general
advice for identifying and dealing with
malicious websites and emails, and it applies to
Mac and PC users equally. This was written,
essentially, for my parents, parents-in-law, and
rockin’ octogenarian internet-using grandmother,
but even if you’re not one of that select group,
you should still find it useful; if you do,
please forward it to ageing relatives, reckless
friends and web n00bs of every stripe. Oh, and
give it a Digg, why not?
