slide1. Cyber Sprinters: Activity 2a What is personal information?<br>
slide2. We’re all online more…. We’re all spending more time online.
Online shopping, video calls with family and friends, school lessons in lockdown.
Not just using ‘computers’ (laptops, tablets and phones):
Smart TVs (have Disney, Netflix, Prime and other apps ‘built in’)
Smart gadgets around the home (speakers, doorbells, Nest)
Online gaming (computer, devices, or consoles)
To access these services, we have to provide personal information.<br>
slide3. What is personal information? Personal information is the information about you that identifies who you are.
In other words, it’s the information that makes you, you!
Different types of personal information include:
name
date of birth
address
gender
telephone number
email address
password<br>
slide4. When might you be asked to provide personal information? Setting up a bank account
Creating a gaming account
Creating a social media account
Signing up for an email account
Signing up for a music service
Signing up for video service (NowTV, Netflix, Disney)<br>
slide5. Why do we need to be careful with this information? If someone gets hold of your personal information, they can pretend to be you.
They can then set up accounts in your name and they can even spend your money.
This is known as identity theft.
Sometimes you don’t find out that your identity has been stolen until years later.<br>
slide6. How can you keep your accounts secure? Think about what you are sharing, and who with. Do they need that information? What are they going to use it for? Does it seem genuine?
Protect your accounts using a strong password (such as one created with three random words like pinkbirdpsrouts)
It’s really important that your email account is protected. If a hacker can access your email account they will be able to access lots of personal information.
Install the latest updates on your devices. Devices that have the latest software on them are much harder for criminals to hack.
Protect your accounts using two-step authentication (which you learned about in the passwords activities) .<br>
slide7. Would you, or wouldn’t you? Would you give your first name and second name when setting up a bank account?
Yes. Banks have to know your personal details to check that it’s really you spending your money or looking at your account.
They are very good at looking after your personal details, so no one else can get at them.
They give you other codes to keep your money extra safe (for example, to use a cashpoint card you also have to enter a PIN, that only you know).<br>
slide8. Would you, or wouldn’t you? Give the password to your gaming account to someone that you have been playing with online?
No. Don’t feel pressured into sharing your password with people online, or even your friends.
Always protect your password.<br>
slide9. Personal information: what have we learned? Personal information is the information that identifies you.
You’ll need to provide it when setting up a bank account, email, or other online services.
Think about who you share personal information with.
Keep your gadgets up to date, it makes them harder for criminals to hack.
Use a strong password, and protect it with two step authentication.
Don’t share your passwords with anyone online.<br>
