Internet Safety
With every new technology, our lives become more convenient. We can now shop online, buy stocks online and so much more. But along with the Internet, email, instant messaging, social networking and file sharing comes new threat.
Just like when the telephone became a common household staple, our computers have become a gateway for criminals to invade our homes and exploit our private information.
The Attorney General's Office is working to protect Kansans from criminals online.
