I hear that the Internet is loaded with criminals. Is that true?
The Internet is a community, and like all communities it has its good and bad actors, its safe and dangerous places. Predators exist everywhere, online and off. The proportion of bad actors in cyberspace is no different from that in the real world.
As long as we have criminals in this world, though, we will have ingenious people who abuse the system through the use of new technology and media. They are often the first to learn how to manipulate the new medium. The trick is knowing how to avoid trouble and taking whatever steps are necessary to protect yourself and your family and prevent problems.
