You don’t have to be a computer wiz to be smart and stay prepared about cyber crime. I’ve talked to millions of people around the country about how to stay safe on the streets; how to thrive in schools; and how to protect themselves from thieves, predators, and crime. Now I’ve set my sights on teaching everyone about cyber crime and how to stay safe online. Talking openly about the dangersof cyberspace is a great start. My friends at the CMO Council, FAME, and the National Crime Prevention Council along with the corporate sponsors for the “Take a Bite Out of Cyber Crime” initiative (Comcast, Intel, McAfee, USA TODAY and VeriSign) have developed fun-filled, interactive and educational programs so people of all ages can get involved, get smart, and stay prepared.
- Immunize your computer against cyber criminals by participating in the Mass Immunization Challenge. With more than 81% of home computers lacking proper protection, it’s time to step up to the challenge and say no to cyber criminals who think we are most vulnerable at home.
- The Junior CyberGuards will be called into action to scout, report, and help educate people about cyber crime.
- Teams from around the country will join together to Guard Your Home Net. I’ll visit around the country to educate and get out the word on cyber safety.
- Please visit the Cyber Crime Center, designed to give you a forum to share your stories, learn more about how people have taken on cyber crime and gather important information about how to stop cyber crime in its tracks.
We aren’t defenseless against cyber crime. The more we learn, share, and compare, the more we can each “Take a Bite Out of Cyber Crime!" |
