While words of encouragement & advice are important, practical actions have more impact when it comes to directly helping someone. Building on this thought, PureVPN is giving away free VPN accounts on Safer Internet Day to highlight the importance of digital security and anonymity.
BUDAPEST, Hungary, February 8, 2019 (Newswire.com) - Safer Internet Day, also commonly referred to as SID, is a global initiative – coordinated by the joint Insafe/INHOPE network. The initiative aims to educate kids about online safety and spark a border-less conversation about the responsible use of technology. The day will be observed on Tuesday, February 05, 2019. This year’s theme is “Together for a better internet.”
Similar to 2018, PureVPN – an official SID supporter – has joined hands with the UK Safer Internet Center to raise awareness about internet safety, security, and the importance of remaining private online on Safer Internet Day.

Why is Internet Safety Awareness Crucial?
Although the internet has empowered and accelerated advancements in almost everything imaginable, it has also exposed us to a variety of online threats such as identity theft, social engineering, cyberbullying, ransomware, exploitation of kids, and fraud among others.
With so much of our data readily available online, being safe on the Internet isn’t a choice. It’s a must. The first step towards online safety is to be ‘aware’ of the different kinds of threats and vulnerabilities that lurk on the internet and how you can help your kids to not fall victim to them.
