years and confronted hundreds of scams and with all that experience I
have got that eye which shows the original internet and ways to protect
yourself from these scams. So today I am sharing the common methods to
stay safe on internet.
Follow these simple steps and enjoy the real and informative internet.
1.Phishing
is one of the major and most using methods to hack someone account. In
phishing the hackers send you the mails. These mails mostly contains
cloned links of your bank pages and saying verification or service
change etc which usually gain people trust. But you can easily protect
yourself from these mails by checking the URL of your banking page. The
URL of a site never changes. if it is different from original URL that
mean its a clone. Never use or login in that cloned page.
2.
Mostly people gets fooled by sites who offers to pay for simple online
jobs.They take benefits of innocent people who are finding ways to earn
some extra cash from internet.There are many ways to earn online

Always use Paypal for online payout. It will act as a barrier between
your bank account and paying site.
3.Use anti-scam sites to avoiding the scams like scamadvisor.com . Here you can have a good idea of legit or fake sites.
4.Don't
hesitates to shop online there are hundreds of genuine shopping sites
like flipkart and Ebay Dont buy from any expired or unlocated domain.
That can be dangerous.
5.The
Phishing usually done by the email ids they get by registration on
their pages so be careful in the terms of registrations and always read
the T&C and Privacy Policy of the sites. Don't register on sites you
are not familiar with.
6.Don't use your important Email ID for subscriptions on blogs and RSS feeders you can make new one's for subscription's.
7.Avoid
the suspicious links or MLM ads like (get paid to register) that you
often to see on facebook and other social sites.They also use many
hacking techniques for getting access to your Facebook and other social
account.
8.Downloading
is also major method of hacking. Oftenly hackers attach virus with some
attractive images or videos which force users to download that viral
file. The best way to avoid that scenario is using a premium antivirus
which also have the function of safe surfing or web shield.
These
steps will be good enough for surfing the internet safe and secure.
Don't doubt everything internet is much bigger these hacker haven't
even gotten 4% of it.
