Safer Internet Day

Today is Safer Internet Day. An annual event coordinated by Insafe a European organisation which works to promote safer and more responsible use of online technology and mobile phones, especially amongst children and young people across the world, Tuesday 8th February has been designated Safer Internet Day 2011. The day supported in Australia by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA).

Although the day is targetted at young people we genealogists could use the day to stop  and review our practices. We need to ensure that our personal data is protected from hackers and identity fraud.
