Unit 1 D1




On social networking sites you need to be careful what links you go on to or what requests you reply to. A prime example is Facebook you can find links on certain group pages that include viruses/malware, if you get an invite of a game that you have never heard of and none of your friends have been its probably got key loggers on it who if you are giving personal/valuable information someone on a different computer can see what you are typing.  You can avoid that though by being cautious about links you don’t recognize  invites to certain games/apps etc. These are a big risk because they can find out your pins and other important personal information. Social networking sites are a classic place for cyber bullying and it could happen to anyone so you need to know for positive who you add on social network sites it could be someone trying to start a fight or even a dodgy 50 year old pretending to be someone he’s/she’s not, the only way you can avoid this is to just double check that you know who your talking to and if you insist on talking to someone you don’t know don’t give personal information away.

Unit 35 P3 and P4












Unit 14 M2

The main differences are with a mobile is you cannot connect if you were in the middle of a countryside. You could send a picture message through 3G but it will cost and it isn't that big, it comes out small. The best method is too send it through email and making your phone the hot spot because sending it through email does not cost and it comes out bigger than your phone. The final way of doing it is uploading it to your computer then transferring it through email.

Unit 14 M1

A way to keep protocols and devices safe could be by changing your password frequently, perhaps every week or month. Also it is just common sense but don't let anyone know what your password is for your personal things like emails and Facebo.ok. Another thing is while your computer is turned on do not leave yourself logged on for one very very simple reason you could get hacked by someone.You could also encrypt your things because its a way of concealing your things. So nobody can see it
