Online Safety and Video Creation, Sharing, Chatting
Posted by admin in Trend Micro on May 10, 2012
Today, 37% of teens use video chat and close to 1/3 create and share videos online. While these numbers are on an upward trend, they are not that surprising.
There is no substitute for video. It’s the next best thing to connecting with someone far away. And for aspiring film-makers, performers, and professional communicators, it’s a fantastic creative outlet that’s accessible to the masses thanks to the Internet and affordable cell phones with video-capture capability.
But as with any other mode of online communication and expression, it’s important to keep in mind that video chat or online video sharing happens in a public space. Here are some things to keep in mind when guiding your kids about online video use:
How to Teach Kids to Steer Clear of Cybercrime
Posted by admin in Trend Micro on April 28, 2012
Hackers. Spammers. Identity Thieves. These are not words that elicit the level of concern and emotion that bullying, sexting, or online predators do when kids are involved. But your kids (and you) are more likely to encounter the work of cybercriminals than possibly any of the other risks we talk about in the world of online safety.
While kids are not necessarily the target of such crimes, cybercriminals set up their elaborate traps where many people are, to increase the likelihood of succeeding in their deception. Social networks, mobile app stores, popular websites, gaming downloads, and even texts – the places where young people spend most of their time online – are not entirely cybercrime-free.
The goal of cybercriminals can be anything from getting you to download software that spies on what you’re doing, steals your personal information, or takes over your system along with thousands of others to deliver spam or take down a website on their behalf.
There are many more methods, too many to enumerate. But here are just a few of the ways that kids could fall for the tricks of cybercriminals and what you can teach them.

End of Piracy? New Copyright Enforcement Program to Launch July 1
Posted by admin in Trend Micro on April 20, 2012
Starting this July 1, most of the major U.S. internet service providers such as Verizon, AT&T, and Comcast will launch a graduated response program, which will begin warning you to stop if you are downloading pirated material. This program, sponsored by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), is a minimum 5-step copyright alert system. It is a voluntary initiative among ISPS that helps formalize and create consistency among them in how they will alert consumers about downloading illegally copied material. Whether or not you are knowingly doing it, all consumers will be warned a few times before final legal action is taken.
Given the launch of this program 10 weeks from now, here are some tips for parents, kids, and schools.

eReaders and Parental Controls
Posted by admin in Trend Micro on April 13, 2012
Over the next 10 weeks, we’ll be highlighting resources on multiple topics as it relates to helping your kids with safe and responsible technology use. This week, we’re featuring a few tips on parental controls and 3 of the more popular eReaders: the Nook, Kindle Fire, and the Apple iPad.
eReaders are a fantastic way to encourage reading among kids. While there is a big upfront cost for the reader, they give you access to huge libraries of books at no or low cost. In the end, it may be a cost savings for you, depending on how much your kids like to read.
Most of the newer eReaders have a browser, a way to get out onto the vast world of the Internet. They can also download apps, movies, and music. They’ve all been designed for the masses, and not necessarily with parents and kids in mind. Ideally, this will shift over time, but for now there are many families who need to know what they’re getting into when they decide to buy their kids an eReader.
General Info to keep in mind:
This Data Privacy Day, Protect What You Post and Even What You Don’t
Posted by admin in Trend Micro on January 28, 2012
In a world where more and more information is created, stored and shared online, and everyone from individual citizens to government organizations is participating in it, maintaining online privacy is an important skill we all have to master.
But protecting your online privacy is not just about knowing how to protect it. It’s also about knowing what you are trying to protect. Anyone who uses and participates in the Internet has and shares information about themselves of all kinds. Some of it you post. Some of it you don’t.

What To Tell Your Kids About Online Piracy
Posted by admin in Trend Micro on January 20, 2012
This past Wednesday, Wikipedia and many other online communities decided to blackout their websites for as long as 24 hours in protest of the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and Protect IP Act (PIPA). These two pieces of U.S. legislation are intended to stop the distribution of pirated music, movies and television shows online. At the moment, due to the protest and concerns voiced by numerous organizations, it currently appears support for these two bills is waning.
Despite your stance on these two bills, one thing is clear: the music, movie, and television industries have spent a lot of time and money to address piracy. Stronger actions will be taken against those who engage in producing and consuming pirated material in some form. There are important shifts going on that we all need to aware of so we are ready for them and can guide kids accordingly.

Your New Profile is Here: Time for Facebook Timeline
Posted by admin in Trend Micro on December 23, 2011
Last September, Facebook announced that it would change the way your profile would be laid out and how you could share and manage your information. It is not uncommon for sites (social networking, websites, or any site) to update and improve themselves on a frequent basis, but this change is one of the biggest since Facebook’s launch and possibly the first change many new Facebook users have ever encountered.
Beyond the obvious artistic changes, there is much more to pay attention to, especially if you’re someone who shares a lot of things with a lot of people. Here’s a list of the highlights of Timeline…
