Explanation

By stating that "A way to prevent identity theft is to not put all of your personal information online where everyone can see it," the answer implies that sharing personal information online increases the risk of identity theft.

E-mail is not sending messages through broken computers. E-mail is a method of sending electronic messages from one computer to another over a network.

- False
- True
Correct Answer

A. True

When you download music illegally, you are often accessing websites or platforms that are not secure or reputable.
