Web safety, or online safety or Internet Safety, is the knowledge of
maximizing the user's personal safety and security risks to private information
and property associated with using the internet, and the self-protection from
computer crime in general.

safety is a growing concern for both children and adults. Common concerns
regarding safety on the internet include: malicious users (spam, phishing,
cyberbullying, cyberstalking etc.), websites and software (malware, computer
viruses, etc.) and various types of obscene or offensive content. Several
crimes can be committed on the Internet such as stalking, identity theft and
more.
