Social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter are perfect for staying in touch, chatting, sharing photos etc, but there are real dangers to your financial security.
Whether you’re an avid or casual user of social media, here are some safety tips to protect yourself. (Huffingtonpost)
1. SELECTIVELY SHARE INFORMATION
Having a big list of friends/followers on social media sounds great, but be cautious about the personal details you share online.
2. SET PROFILES TO PRIVATE
If your profile contains sensitive information, set it to private so only trusted contacts can see details you share.
3. STRONG PASSWORDS
Your passwords should be unique, and different for each account so if one is compromised, your profiles on other networks won’t be affected.
4. LOCK YOUR DEVICES
A password or thumbprint verification can go a long way in protecting personal information when a device is stolen.
5. THINK BEFORE YOU POST
If you are on vacation, should you announce it to the whole world real time? It sends a message to all that your home is empty and thus a prime target.
