4 . Recently, many people think it’s risky to use credit (信用) card numbers online. However, from time to time, we all use passwords and ID numbers on the Internet. We think we are safe, but that may not be true! A new kind of attack (攻击) is being used by dishonest people to steal IDs and credit card numbers from web surfers. This new kind of attack is called “phishing”.
Phishing sounds the same as the word “fishing”, and it means that a thief is trying to trick people into giving away valuable information. Like real fishermen, phishers use bait (诱饵) in the form of great online deals or services. For example, phishers might use false emails and website s to trick people into revealing (透露) credit card numbers, account usernames, and passwords. They imitate (模仿) well-known banks, online sellers, and credit card companies. Successful phishers may make as many as 5% of the people believe and give away their personal information.
It’s really a big problem! Actually, tricking 5% of the online population is huge. Now more than 4.6 billion people have access (进入权) to the Internet, and 75% of those Internet users live in the wealthiest countries on Earth. It has been reported that phishers send more than 40 billion false messages each year. Even by tricking only. 5% of the people, phishers can make a lot of money.
Amy, 18, from California, received an email. A man told Amy that she could get a million dollars in her account as a reward if she sent a thousand dollars to him. Amy did as the man said at once. The “thief” used Amy’s Social Security number to get credit cards in her name and transferred her money.
How can people avoid being cheated online? Above all, they have to learn to recognize the email that has been sent by a phisher. Always be careful with any email with urgent (紧急的) requests for personal information. Phishers typically write upsetting or exciting, but false statements in their emails so that people will reply right away. Never give out personal information to phishers. And if an offer sounds too good to be true, it is.

5 . My name is Ann. Chatting online with friends is my favorite thing to do. One day, I got a message from someone called Tom. He told me he was twelve and lived in New York. He said he wanted to be my secret (秘密的) friend, and I thought that seemed cool.
Tom and I chatted every day. He was interesting and seemed kind of smart—in fact, much smarter than the twelve-year-old boys I knew. Tom told me he would come to my city with his parents and he would like to have a secret meeting with me. And I agreed.
I was so excited that I told Mom that good news. As soon as she heard about my secret Internet friend, my mom started to ask me hundreds of questions.
I didn’t understand why my mom was so serious. She even called the police. On the afternoon when Tom and I were going to meet, the police came with us secretly. They found that Tom wasn’t a twelve-year-old boy. He was a middle-aged man. Tom wasn’t his real name and he planned to do something bad. I was really shocked at that.
This experience made me think more about what my mom says. It’s much safer to spend time doing outdoor activities.

In the modern world, we get on the Internet more often, and a lot of our personal information is stored on the Internet. However, most people don’t think about this and it can be easy for someone to get to know almost everything in our lives. Here is what to do to help you protect your privacy (隐私) online.
Turn off your GPS
Many people don’t even realize that the GPS on their phone is transmitting (传输) all of the time. If you are sending text messages, people are able to see your exact address, simply because your GPS is on. Only turn your GPS on when you need to use it.
Don’t display your date of birth
Your date of birth may not seem like something that anyone could use, but it is a key piece of information which many companies will use to check if they are speaking to you. If someone gets your date of birth on Facebook, he may get certain accounts (账户) in your name. Never use your own date of birth as a password (密码).
Lock up your private settings
With Facebook, not everything is set to be seen by just friends, so you have to change your private settings by yourself. This means that only the people you have added as friends can see the message that has your personal information.

10 . Did you know that when you surf the web, websites in some countries put secret software (软件) on your computer? The software collects information about you and sends it to Internet companies. The Internet companies sell it to other businesses. Your personal information can also be assembled from social media. There are many ways your information can be used.
First, companies collect your information and record all your online habits. They find out where you live and what you do online. With the information, they can guess other things about you. For example, they can guess how old you are and what your interests are.
Your personal information could also be sold. When someone sells your information, a lot of different companies will know your online habits.
Your personal information can also be collected through social media. Even if you don’t use social media, a friend might post a picture or video of you with your name on it. If someone knows too much about you, he might steal your personal information. Then he can buy things online and post messages while pretending (假装) to be you.
▲ The law is finally changed when it comes to technology.

If other countries do the same, the Internet could soon be a much safer place.
