I was wondering how to protect myself on the Internet after a friend of mine was blackmailed. He received a message from some fake account that claimed they had his personal data and if he didn't pay, it would all “come out”. He ended up panicking and transferred the money. We are now discussing how he could have avoided this. I was wondering, what steps should you take in advance to avoid being in a similar situation?

The Internet has become a part of life today, but few people think about security. I, for example, regularly clear data from my browser and use a VPN to hide my activity. I believe that in this matter it is important not only to protect oneself, but also to teach others, especially children, how to behave properly online. If the basics of digital literacy were taught in school, many problems could be prevented.
