For example, if you use a Gmail email account on your TeenHelp account then you may be at risk because Gmail itself was affected. To help stay safe online try using the following safety tips:
- Change your password on all websites you use on a regular basis - Once every six months or a year.
- Choose passwords that are difficult to guess - Longer passwords, with a mixture of letters, numbers and symbols are more secure.
- Set up and use a firewall, antivirus and antispyware software and regularly scan your computer for potential problems.
- Don't click links in emails unless you know what they are or download software from places you don't trust.
- If you have any concerns about Internet security or other technology issues try asking about them in our Technology and Gaming forum.
