MANILA, Philippines, February 19: Numerous internet users
are in jeopardy of falling victim to cybercriminals because of online practices
that make them extremely susceptible to attacks, provoking chief Philippine
mobile operator Globe Telecom to unveil a cyberwellness movement which encourages
reliable and sensible online activities.
"Being in the forefront of digital innovations -- from
providing reliable mobile and broadband connections to world-class content offerings,
global partners and more, Globe continuously seeks solutions that will support
its sustainability philosophy to allow it to operate in a socially responsible
way. Thus, we believe that being a purveyor of digital lifestyle, it is also
our responsibility to promote online health, safety, and positive digital
citizenship for all," stated Yoly Crisanto, Globe Senior Vice President
for Corporate Communications.
Thus, Globe presented CyberPinoy (Cyber Filipino) movement for
example ProTECH101, Stop Spam, and more newly, the Digital Thumbprint Program
to amalgamate all its endeavors to encompass a digital country.
ProTECH101 is an online information effort that tries to update
netizens of the perils of online offences by retelling them to keep their
accounts and precious facts protected while Stop Spam is a plan to tackle the rise
of spam and scam messages by means of a Globe channel
(http://www.globe.com.ph/stopspam) where customers can report such incidents.
With the youth being significantly denoted in the online group,
Globe also embraced the Digital Thumbprint Program (DTP) of Optus and Singtel
in Australia. DTP is a prize-winning program that educates high school students
to appreciate the effect of their online conduct and how to be secure and sensible
for their online actions. By means of three workshops, the pupils ascertain how
to recognize appropriate online actions, be conscious of expertise's effect on
their social actions, and acquire abilities on how to utilize expertise to aid
them attain life objectives.
While the internet delivers pleasing experiences, it is as
well home to corrupt people for example scammers, swindlers, persecutors, and
sexual raiders who are out to damage or gain benefit at the expense of other
people.
Online scam surpassed the list of objections taken by the
Philippine National Police-Anti-Cybercrime Group (PNP-ACG) from 2013 to 2015
with a total of 366 occurrences, trailed by online vilification with 240 cases,
online intimidations with 129, identity pilfering with 127 and anti-photo and
video voyeurism with 89.
