Abstract
This chapter examines the ways that private data can be exposed over the Web and suggests ways one can help prevent that from happening. Managing risk on the web involves learning to identify and avoid suspicious web sites that are more likely to have malicious intent for private information. One needs to be careful how one manages account and password information to minimize its exposure. One can protect credit card and other purchasing information using several services that help manage this information on one's behalf more securely than one can. The security policy states that the web site will never sell customer information, stores it securely, and uses it only for the purpose of communicating news about new products to customers. Many trustworthy web sites provides digital signature when it is necessary to install an applet or plug-in in order to view the site. One can view the digital certificate for the signed applet in the same way one views a Web server site certificate, using the features of the browser provided for this purpose.
