In addition, children should be told not to fill out Internet forms or register at any domain without their parents' or guardians' prior knowledge and consent. Today, encryption programs are available to maintain the secrecy of your Internet transmissions. Other encryption programs can also be found on the web. Beware, however, that even encrypted data can be cracked by computer hackers. You should never give your PeopleWeb passwords to anyone who should not have access to your account, and you should also recognize that passwords are nowhere close to foolproof.
Computer hackers have the ability to determine passwords in weeks, or even days.
This means that password protected information may not remain protected, if even a unskilled hacker wants the information. Making your passwords complex makes it much more difficult for hackers to crack your password, because it means they must try many more combinations of letters, numbers, and symbols in order to finally arrive at your password. With complex passwords, hacking programs can take many years to determine the password, making hacking difficult and economically nonsensical.
