Familiarity with online safety is necessary for every person who uses the Internet directly or indirectly. Just as in the physical world it is necessary to protect yourself from various dangers, in the online world it is also necessary to observe security principles and deal with risks.

For example, if you are careful not to crash with cars while crossing the street, you should also be careful about fake sites, fake content, and suspicious attachments in email messages when browsing the web and viewing new email messages. If you keep your worthy documents and jewelry in a safe place, you should think about the files, pictures, and personal information you publish online. Just as you protect your physical wallet, you should also protect the credentials of your virtual wallets and passwords.
