Many of the 2.0 internet destinations have a common theme that encourages sharing information in one or another form with authorized followers. It has received many information that people share but do not cause adverse effects, although some may prove to be very harmful. Consider the following:
- In the case of Lori Drew, where Lori created a false online profile with the intention of harassing her online rivals. The rival ultimately committed suicide. Lori is in jail. How many other cases are there?
- Some users make bad guys too easy, such as things in their profile, such as their social security number, or if they sign up, these sites do not need social security for them.
These examples are similar to common mistakes.
- Some things that come out are very innocent and not dangerous. The recent burglary was facilitated by a young woman who planned to launch an evening on her social site. While he disappeared, thieves broke into his apartment and left over $ 10,000 in electronic and other equipment. Fortunately, they did not notice the CCTV equipment that recorded their actions when the police released the video to the news media, one of the young women's followers recognized the thieves as other registered followers known from high school. This special incident was okay, just imagine what would happen if the young woman went back to her apartment until the thieves were still there!
The above events point out some of the things that need to be taken into account when connecting to social networks. Apart from authorized followers who can access the published data. Think, for example, of all the ways you interact;
- There are reports that hackers access social network member files and find information that can help identify users.
- Another attack is a fake fake that attracts followers, and people behind the profiles ask information from those followers.
So what steps do you need to be able to keep safe on social networking sites?
- Take care of what information you provide on your profile pages on your own site. Using your age, birth date, social security number, location, phone number, email address, work, friends, or family, using your photo, you can find information about genuine identity.
- Do not post information about the timetable, holiday schedule, even schedule time, if a potential bad guy receives this kind of information you will know if you are not home.
- Never respond to invitations to share usernames or passwords.
