ONLINE THREATS: GAME SYSTEMS

We look at game systems as just that: GAME SYSTEMS!

But, today's game consoles are full-fledged computers, albeit specialized.  With their increasing integration with the Internet they bring many vulnerabilities that parents may not be aware of.

• Console systems (X-Box, PlayStation 3, Wii) enable children to play against total stangers.

• The PS3 and Wii have web browsers that the pornography industry immediately supported.

• Systems that can play media (SD cards, USB sticks, etc.) can be used to view illicit material previously obtained online.

Let us educate your parents on how to make gaming safer!
