Our mission at Bsafe is to help protect families from Internet threats. To do
so, we provide the best technologies and products possible. In our quest to do
even more, we must keep our customers informed of these threats and minimize
the risks to our families. To accomplish this, we will publish a quarterly
newsletter. This newsletter will contain relevant and timely articles that will
raise our awareness and better equip us to fend off these threats. We hope you
find them enlightening and helpful. If you have comments or suggestions for
future topics, please provide your feedback to Bsmart@bsafehome.com.

How
Bad is the Problem? (Child Pornography/Exploitation)
Everyday over 45 million
children between the ages of 10 – 17 are online, and out of those
children,
1 in 33 receive a sexual solicitation online, and nearly 60% receive some type
of online communication from a stranger.
Identity theft that takes place over the internet is called Phishing. Phishing, i.e., fishing for information and hooking victims, is a criminal activity using social engineering techniques. Phishers attempt to fraudulently acquire sensitive information (e.g., passwords and credit card details) by masquerading as a trustworthy person or business in an electronic communication.
Dangers
and Risks Posed by IM
In less
time than it takes to finish the Math problem, a complete stranger has
befriended your 12-year old daughter. And yes it is that easy!
We’ve all heard the horror stories, on Dateline NBC and other news forums
of our youth being identified and victimized by predators using the Internet
and more specifically, Instant Messenger (IM).
