But with all of those benefits come risks, and not knowing how to manage your online presence can be incredibly dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>We type our information in so often that we can sometimes forget we&rsquo;re sharing sensitive data. Once something is put online it&rsquo;s there forever, so it&rsquo;s important to know the ways to stay protected. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/about\/corporatecitizenship\/en-us\/youthspark\/youthsparkhub\/programs\/onlinesafety\/\">Microsoft<\/a> is determined to keep users safe and volunteers a number of tips to assist.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Privacy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You may think you&rsquo;re keeping your privacy protected, but with all the sharing we do on social media, you might be putting more at risk than you imagine.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Be wary of any websites that require you to fill out extensive personal data and always use discretion with what information you&rsquo;re providing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Always make use of privacy settings on any social media sites &ndash; take control over who can view your information and photos so they&rsquo;re not shared publicly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Take a look at any pictures you post before you share them&hellip; it may seem silly, but you could be exposing a lot of private information in your photos, from license plates, to student numbers, to addresses, and so on.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>&nbsp;Financial Security<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Always keep this in mind: businesses such as banks, retailers and credit card companies won&rsquo;t ask for your personal information and banking info through an email.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Pay attention to every website you provide financial information to &ndash; some don&rsquo;t use proper security measures to block malware and other attacks, so you need to use discretion and only work on trusted domains.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Strong password protection is crucial! It can&rsquo;t be stated enough. Once a criminal has your username, all they need is a password to get full access to your information. If your password is easily discernable, your accounts are all at risk.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Reputation<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Examine everything you post before you put it out there. Once something is online, it&rsquo;s forever. Rather than regretting posting an angry comment or an inappropriate photo later, take the time first to really think it through.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>A good indicator of whether the content you&rsquo;re posting is appropriate is to ask yourself whether you&rsquo;d want your parents or boss to see it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center\">Keeping yourself protected while working online is absolutely essential.
