September 19, 2008, Newsletter Issue #81: The Dangers of Instant Messaging

1

Tip of the Week


Instant Messaging is available to everyone who ones a computer and an Internet connection. Though a tremendous tool for communication, especially for businesses, it is also used by people who hide their identity to trick others into thinking they are someone else. These are known as Internet Predators. They will try to lure others, children and adults, into giving them their personal information which gives the predator the opportunity to seek out that person for wrongful reasons. Never give out personal information over an instant message. You never know who you might be talking to!

Instant Messengers can also be used for distributing pictures of pornography as well as viruses.

Once an individual has created an account for an Instant Message service, that individual can use any computer with an Internet connection which also has the same Instant Message program installed. This makes it very difficult to monitor.

Instant Messengers can be an addictive program and can be very time consuming. This can cause issues as it may get in the way of other activities such as your work and your daytime job, or homework for a child at home.
