By Hartlepool Borough Council

Today is #SaferInternetDay2019. As it falls this year during Sexual Abuse Sexual Violence Awareness Week, Hartlepool Community Safety Team is keen to share the following advice with survivors to help them stay safe online Google yourself to check your digital footprint frequently. Change passwords often and do not use the same password for everything. Check privacy settings on social networking sites and limit the amount of information you put on. Be aware of geolocation and tagging on social networking sites and ensure that this is disabled on your smartphone. Keep your antivirus software uptodate. Report stalking to website administrators. If you believe that your computer or smartphone has been hacked or compromised, stop using them immediately and take them to a specialist such as your mobile phone provider or computer repair experts for advice. #itsnotok #SaferHartlepool
