To help you strengthen your cyber security defense while doing things online, here are several tips you should follow. It is for your own safety.
1. Do not rely to any message, email, instant messages, Facebook message or Twitter message asking your personal information such as your bank card PIN number, your identification card number (in Malaysia it called KPT number), your online banking account login name and PIN number, house address, office address and your birthday. If the message if from a person you know, ask why you should give your personal information on the internet, why not in the real world, talking face to face?
2. Do not tell all about you, yourself and yourbackground especially in popular social network websites such as Facebook, Twitter, Orkut, Friendster, Myspace. If you have a blog, do not tell full stories of yourself.
3. Do not share any of your personal information with someone you didnt know.
4. Choose a nick name while chatting, do not even your real name.
5. If you want to become an internet business owner or a professional blogger, use only a name and do not share a lot of personal stories, becuase anybody can use it for bad purpose.
6. Do a personal search about yourself on the internet, just in case someone copied your identity. This always happened in Facebook, where you didnt know you have several account that are not opened by you, especially if you have a pretty face.
7. Be simple, be humble. Dont SHOW TOO MUCH.
8. Keep any message that you feel threatening you, send it via email directly to Malaysia Computer Emergency Response Team (MyCERT) at cyber999@cybersecurity.my
