Staying safe online
Overview
You should protect yourself and your family online from:
- fraud
- cyber bullying and stalking
- radicalisation
There's no single way of doing this. But you can:
- protect your computer and devices
- keep social media profiles private
- protect your money online when banking and shopping
- be careful about what you post
- report online crime and abuse to the police
If you've been the victim of an online crime, you can report it to Police Scotland:
- by telephone 999 (emergency) 101 (non-emergency)
- in person at any police station
If you're worried about someone finding out you've been on mygov.scot or another website, there are ways to stop them.
