Tip of the Week- 7 No-nos of Social Networks
There was an article in the Los Angeles Times today entitled, "Seven No-nos of Social Networks."
A Consumer Reports survey found that more than half of adults who use
social networks post information that puts them at risk for identity
theft and other cyber crimes.
The Seven No-nos
- A weak password- mix and use upper & lower case letters, numbers and symbols. Stay away from simple words that can be found in a dictionary
- Full birth date- If
you're going to show anything, show only the month and day. The full
birthday makes it easier for the bad guys to obtain other information
about you
- Privacy controls- most
social networks allow you to limit some of the information that is
publicly available. At the least, leave out phone numbers and home
addresses
- A child's name in a caption- don't
use a child's name in photo tags or captions. If other people use your
child's name in their captions, delete it by clicking "Remove Tag"
- Being away from home- don't post the dates that you'll be away from home
- Found by search engines- on
Facebook- click on My Account, go to Privacy Settings, then go to
Search. Select "Only Friends" in the Facebook Search Results and make
sure Public Search Results is unchecked
- Children using Facebook unsupervised- Consumer
reports suggests that if you have a young child or teenager who uses
Facebook, you should become one of their online friends and use their
email as the contact for the account to receive notification and
monitor activity
Everyone has to decide for themselves how
much personal information they are willing to make public.
Unfortunately, there are people who are not our friends, who are too
willing to use your information for their own purposes.
Like most
things in life, "caveat emptor" ("let the buyer beware") applies to our
online life as well.
