Whether through a computer at home, school or work, or with a mobile device, millions of Americans access the Internet each day.  The Internet provides almost unlimited opportunities, while creating risks that can range from mere inconveniences to serious threats, such as identity theft and child safety.  Throughout October, which is National Cyber Security Awareness Month, the Illinois Emergency Management Agency will highlight cyber safety to help people understand online risks and what they can do to prevent problems.  The Ready Illinois website includes a cyber safety section that provides information and links to dozens of resources for the safe use of computers and the Internet at home and businesses, as well as guidance for parents and children about online safety.  For more online safety tips, visit the Ready Illinois website at www.Ready.Illinois.gov.
