Trang 19PRACTICE TEST 1
I Read the following passage carefully and then choose the best answer for each question.
We're always being urged to stay safe online But in an era where the internet is part of our everydaylives, it's not always easy to spot the dangers Web safety expert, Amanda Knox, explores some of the issueslurking in cyberspace
Her first piece of advice is to install software and a firewall as the first line of defence to protect your
computer from viruses, hackers and criminals who want to steal your data or financial information
So much for protecting yourself against intruders, but what about other problems? Katy Marsh runs anonline photography business from home and when a fire destroyed part of her house it could easily havespelled ruin for her business too "Luckily I keep a regular back-up of my data so it wasn't a catastrophe,"Amanda says
Whilst most of us are aware of the need to protect our computers, it seems we're more lax when itcomes to looking out for ourselves, at least according to a recent web awareness survey Chris Simpson, acomputer programmer, learnt the hard way "I joined a free online networking group After a month, one of
my online contacts invited me to take out a subscription to a club It turned out to be a waste of money I
ended up a laughing stock with my mates - they couldn't believe that someone in my job could get taken in
so easily
This brings us to other potential pitfalls Khaled, a postgrad from Manchester University, quicklyrealised that it was unwise of him to post his phone number and email address in the public forum He wassoon bombarded with unwanted emails and nuisance phone calls Yet, it's astonishing how many highlyeducated people do this without considering the consequences
When networking and joining online communities it's better to be cautious about the amount ofpersonal information you share For example, it isn't always necessary to use your real name as a usernamewhen registering for a service And is it really important to tell the world details about your school, college
or any local clubs you're a member of?
If you do experience problems from another user, be prepared to report them for misusing the service.And if all else fails, check to see if it is easy to delete your account and leave the service A general rule ofthumb is not to post any information about yourself that you would not be happy for the world to know - notjust now but in years to come
