Prevention is always better than cure. It is always better to take certain precaution while operating the net. A should make them his part of cyber life. Saileshkumar Zarkar, technical advisor and network security consultant to the Mumbai Police Cyber crime Cell, advocates the 5P mantra for online security: Precaution, Prevention, Protection, Preservation and Perseverance. A netizen should keep in mind the following things-

1.to prevent cyber stalking avoid disclosing any information pertaining to oneself. This is as good as disclosing your identity to strangers in public place.

2.always avoid sending any photograph online particularly to strangers and chat friends as there have been incidents of misuse of the photographs.

3.always use latest and up date anti virus software to guard against virus attacks.

4.always keep back up volumes so that one may not suffer data loss in case of virus contamination

5.never send your credit card number to any site that is not secured, to guard against frauds.

6.always keep a watch on the sites that your children are accessing to prevent any kind of harassment or depravation in children.

7.it is better to use a security programme that gives control over the cookies and send information back to the site as leaving the cookies unguarded might prove fatal.

8.web site owners should watch traffic and check any irregularity on the site. Putting host-based intrusion detection devices on servers may do this.

9.use of firewalls may be beneficial.

10. web servers running public sites must be physically separate protected from internal corporate network.

Public awareness is essential to prevent cyber crimes. You need to keep your system safe and highly secure from these unauthorized and dangerous threats. Similarly, children should be encouraged to have good company and you should keep a check on them so that they are not led astray. Moreover, steps should be taken to ensure that people with brains do not utilize their grey cells in negative direction.

This is timely-topic and a problem that appears to increase almost daily. I would only add a suggestion that our IT specialist offered following a rabid viral attack on our system. Upload a program such as MalwareBytes (a free program) and update it weekly. Be wary of suspicious activity that is brought to your attention and report evidence of such activity post haste! (For example, each state has a unit within the Attorney General's office assigned to cyber crime.)
