I'm trying to find out if there are currently any resources available for
teaching people how to be safe online. As in, how to not get a virus, how to
pick out phishing emails, how to recognize scams. I'm sure everyone on this
list knows these things, but a lot of end users don't. I'm trying to find a
way to teach these things to people who aren't too technically savvy.
It seems to me that the fewer end users that have issues, the easier our
lives will be.
So what I'm trying to figure out is, is there a good site or set of sites for
this stuff, or is there anyone out there interested in helping to build a
unified list of instructions, videos, etc. for all this?
Whatever instructional plan you put together make certain it includes
instructions on applying security patches and keeping your system up to
date. Probably the best thing most users can do to keep their systems
clean.
