Tom’s Tek Tips, Child Cybersecurity Edition: Sharing of Personal Information and Photos

January 1, 2023

In the final part of the special Cyber Security Child Safety mini-series, Tom and Samantha delve into the crucial topic of safely sharing personal information and photos online. With advanced artificial intelligence that can replicate voices and videos, recognizing malicious actors has become challenging. This episode emphasizes the necessity of sharing information only when one is absolutely certain of the recipient’s identity, with a focus on children’s online safety. Learn about the dangers of revealing personal information through seemingly harmless photos or through gaming chats, and the importance of verifying the identity of anyone asking for such information. Secure online communication is a skill everyone, especially children, needs to master.
