The Internet can be a dangerous place for those who don\u2019t care about security. However, you already have access to the best weapon against cybercriminals: your brain.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/media.kasperskydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/102\/2015\/07\/06024558\/tips-for-kids-02-fb1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9305\" src=\"https:\/\/media.kasperskydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/102\/2015\/07\/06024558\/tips-for-kids-02-fb1.png\" alt=\"IT Security Tips for Kids: Reliable Passwords\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Be smart and vigilant. If you think memorizing long, reliable passwords is tedious, make it funny. Really, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.com.au\/blog\/remember-strong-passwords\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">it\u2019s easy to find a fun way to memorize complicated passwords<\/a>. Of course, you can also use a password manager.<\/p>\n<p>Since you\u2019re reading this,\u00a0you must be a responsible person who cares about Internet security. Be sure to check these simple rules, which we\u2019ve collected to help you defeat cybercriminals:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Don\u2019t tell anyone your passwords for social networks (e.g., Facebook) or online games \u2013 not even your best friend. If someone finds out your password they can steal your game items or make it look like you are sending bad things to your friends on social networks. Your friends wouldn\u2019t be happy about that!<\/li>\n<li>Never send your password in an email or IM (e.g, Whatsapp, Skype, Viber, etc.), even if you think somebody working for a social network or online game is asking for it. Don\u2019t forget: Someone who really works for a web service will never ask for your password.<\/li>\n<li>Try to use a long, complicated password. That means at least 8 symbols including upper and lower-case letters, numbers, and punctuation marks. Your pet\u2019s name, your brother\u2019s birthday, or a simple string of characters like \u201812345\u2019 won\u2019t do. They are too simple to guess, and they can be easily cracked using special programs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Don't forget to check your password! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/PassChecker?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">#PassChecker<\/a>  <a href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/vXnwmfqSWh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">http:\/\/t.co\/vXnwmfqSWh<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/P9Pm0SGc4n\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">https:\/\/t.co\/P9Pm0SGc4n<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Kaspersky (@kaspersky) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kaspersky\/status\/524916379968077825?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">October 22, 2014<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Don\u2019t write your passwords on a piece of paper, or save them in a file on your device \u2013 that\u2019s exactly where a criminal will start looking for them.

Double check the URL in the\u00a0address bar and make sure everything looks as it should.
