Moreover, it is not only the supervision that is important. A person should be appropriately educated to be aware of the dangers in the virtual environment and should know the basic self-protection techniques. There should be campaigns such as “cyber security awareness week” where people are made aware of the techniques employed by cyber criminals to lure people into a trap, at the same time there should be also the education of existing cyber security laws against such kind of fraudulent activities.
