1. Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram
2. There are many consequences for students who put the wrong terms on any account that they have online. I think the scariest thing is knowing that once something is on the Internet it can never be fully taken off, so something someone posts could potentially be stuck with them for the rest of their life.
3. sexting: sending sexual pictures or texts
cramming: adding unauthorized charges to someone's phone bill
cookies: small amounts of data made by a website saved by your browser
trojan horse: a malicious code that is contained inside something seeming unharmful
phishing: defrauding an online account holder of financial information by posing as a legit company
spyware: software that allows a user to get information about a computers activities by transmitting data covertly from their hardrive
rootkit: a set of software tools that allows an unauthorized user to gain control of a computer system without being detected
zombie: a computer connected to the Internet that has been compromised by a hacker, computer virus or trojan horse and can be used to perform malicious tasks of one sort or another under remote direction
4. They all just seem very inappropriate for a students' screen name because of the foul language used.
5. These screen names have terms that would be more appealing to a predator type person because they put off a vibe that would be willing to do the things in their screen names.
6. Some of these screen names give away a students' full name or part of their name and year they graduate so close to their age and some give away a student's hobbies and name.
7. I don't think any of these screen names are appropriate because in some way or another they give away personal information about the student.
8. USM398, cheese123, lock756
9. I scored a 9
10. Most common: students give their passwords to friends; least common: password cracking program
11. I didn't even know there was a such thing as a drive-by download. I didn't realize it was so easy for people to hack into a computer and make it do things that were unauthorized. I didn't know that keeping your browser and computer operating system up to date helped at all. You would think that people would be trying to attack the new stuff because that's what everyone wants, not the old stuff.
I think I am pretty safe on the internet after watching this because I keep my anti-virus and anti-spyware systems up to date and it runs backgrounds on EVERYTHING. It still is very scary to see how easy it is for something that seemed so small pretty much ruin a computer. I would like to know what types of sites are the easiest to get hacked from so that I can steer clear of them!
