7. Using Social Media Safely
Privacy and security settings exist for a reason: Learn about and use the
privacy and security settings on social networks. They are there to help you
control who sees what you post and manage your online experience in a
positive way.
Keep personal info personal: Be cautious about how much personal
information you provide on social networking sites. The more information you
post, the easier it may be for a hacker or someone else to use that information
to steal your identity, access your data or commit other crimes such as stalking.
When in doubt, throw it out: Links in email, tweets, posts and online
advertising are often how cybercriminals try to steal your personal information.
Even if you know the source, if something looks suspicious, delete it.
8. Know what action to take: If someone is harassing or threatening you,
remove them from your friends list, block them and report them to the
site administrator.
Keep security software current: Having the latest security software, web
browser and operating system is the best defense against viruses,
malware and other online threats.
Own your online presence: When applicable, set the privacy and security
settings on websites to your comfort level for information sharing. It’s OK
to limit how and with whom you share information.
Unique account, unique passphrase: Having separate passphrases for
every account helps to thwart cybercriminals. At a minimum, separate
your work and personal accounts and make sure that your critical
accounts have the strongest passphrases.
