Mark: Hi there, Sarah! Have you ever thought about how to stay safe online?
Sarah: Hi! Not really, but I guess it's important. What can we do to stay safe?
Mark: Well, there are a few things we can do. First, we should always set strong passwords for our accounts.
Sarah: How do we do that?
Mark: We can make sure our passwords are long and include a mix of letters, numbers, and special characters. And it's a good idea to avoid using easily guessable information like birthdays or pet names.
Sarah: Got it! What else?
Mark: Another important thing is to watch out for phishing attempts. That's when someone tries to trick us into giving them our personal information, like passwords or credit card numbers, by pretending to be someone we trust.
Sarah: That sounds scary! How can we recognize phishing attempts?
Mark: One way is to always check the sender's email address or the website URL to make sure they're legitimate. And we should never click on suspicious links or download attachments from unknown sources.
Sarah: Okay, I'll be sure to remember that. Anything else?
Mark: Yes, it's also important to understand privacy settings on the websites and apps we use. That way, we can control who can see our information and what they can do with it.
Sarah: That makes sense. Thanks for the tips! I'll definitely be more careful online from now on.
