Google has launched a new initiative “Good to Know” to enlighten web users about internet safety and online security. It primarily focus on various online threats like Phishing, Malware, Mobile security etc. It also tells you how to manage your data securely and privately on the web.
This website may be in response to a similar website “YourBrowserMatters.org” launched by Microsoft some time back. It is nice and effort from Google.
Major topis covered on “Good to Know” website are
- Passwords

It also includes a section “Jargon buster” to explain common technical terms related to online web security and privacy. What we recommend as must visit pages on this website are pages talking about “Secure online shopping” , “Signing out” and Phishing. Common internet users are most vulnerable in these areas and these are potentially high risk areas.
Google “Good to know” website has also some neat videos about online safety. One of our favorites is the Phishing prevention video.
