FTC updates OnGuardOnline.gov

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has upgraded the content on its public information (about online safety) website, OnGuardOnline.gov:

Since its launch in September 2005, more than 8.5 million visitors have learned about computer security at OnGuardOnline.gov and AlertaEnLinea.gov, its Spanish-language counterpart.  Now, a Web 2.0 redesign allows users to grab and embed games and videos, search for topics on the site, and have a more interactive experience while getting useful tips and information.

There are articles and engaging games on sixteen topics – including social networking, phishing, spam scams and laptop security; plenty of buttons and banners to help you link from your site; free publications you can order; and links to the OnGuard Online partners, who are an important part of the site’s success.
