Privacy and safety online is a very big role associating with being on the internet. Privacy and safety is something that is not put into place by some people online and can lead to massive range of problems e.g cyber bullying, emails used as a threatening message or harassment, unsafe pop ups and hacks, and can also range to Trojans and viruses coming into your computer alongside a unsafe advertisement and email.

The ranges of unsafe behaviour on a computer, laptop, or tablet can be quite devastating and can also include blackmail.
