Google Cyber Security Awareness Channel on YouTube offers helpful tips.

From the official Google blog  a couple days ago...

Google has a cyber security awareness channel on YouTube. with topics like;

  • cyber bullying
  • knowing who you are talking to
  • keeping computer software patched
  • choosing strong passwords
  • malware
  • avoiding phishing
  • tips for parents

It appears to be the result of a contest where contestants prepared videos.  So the quality varies quite a bit, and technically savvy computer users won't learn anything new, but if you have friends and family who are new to this whole "Interweb thing" (sic) then it is a nice light intro in a very approachable format.

Hope that helps keep your friends and family safe(r).
Greg.
