The Ten Net Commandments
I found “The Ten Net Commandments” in the Spyware Weekly Newsletter of Dec. 10, 2005. I thought it was done quite well and wanted to pass this on to as many people as possible. So here it is.
- Thou shalt not buy merchandise found in pop-up ads or spam.
- Thou shalt not post thy email address, phone number, address or social security number to the Internet, nor shalt thou post anyone else’s.
- Thou shalt not forget to update thy Windows every second Tuesday.
- Thou shalt not connect to the Internet without installing an antivirus, nor shalt thou begin a scan without checking for updates.
- Thou shalt not connect to the Internet without installing a firewall.
- Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s credit card number, nor his bank routing number, nor his social security number.
- Thou shalt not enter thy credit card number without seeing the tiny padlock icon on thy status bar.
- Thou shalt not reply to the email from the Nigerian banker.
- Thou shalt not forward chain letters to thy friends and family.
- Thou shalt not use “password” as thy password, nor thy birthday, nor thy children’s names.
