WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT?
Washing your hands before a meal or brushing your teeth twice a day seem like ordinary habits – they are a part of personal hygiene. Neglecting it can cause severe illness - the same concept is valid in the virtual world as well. Simple habits as creating safe passwords, avoiding suspicious e-mails, being aware of ways how to safely surf the Internet are all part of cyber hygiene that can provide effective protection.
