Things to do to prevent cyber crime
It is always better to take determinative measures to prevent a crime than to take action against it after it has occurred. This also applies to online users. To avoid becoming a victim of cybercrime, one can easily stay free from cybercrime if some awareness and some preventive measures are always followed. Some of such preventive measures are described below:
(i) One should refrain from presenting one's confidential information to others.
(ii) Never send any photograph of yourself or someone you know online to a stranger or a chat friend. Because that kind of photography can be used for any evil purpose.
(iii) Always use new and upgraded anti-virus to prevent virus attacks.
(iv) Important data should always be backed up so that the data is not lost forever due to virus attack.
(v) Never provide credit card number to any insecure website to stay financially risk free. (vi) Children should always monitor their browsing so that they do not access any unwanted sites while browsing the Internet.
(vii) Browsing must have security programs in place to control risks and block harmful cookies.
(viii) The owners of the web site regularly check its traffic and whether anything irregular is happening in it.
(x) Use of firewalls.
