Social networks are becoming an increasingly important part of life, helping to connect and share information with friends and relatives. However, besides those benefits, using social networks also has the potential risk of being tracked and illegally collecting personal information.
Establishing strict privacy
Limit sharing of articles, photos and personal information in public mode. You should choose the "Friends" view mode or a list of close friends. Keep a list of friends, phone numbers, and home addresses to reduce the risk of being tracked or having information exposed.
Limit sharing sensitive information
Do not post current location, schedule, phone number or important documents. If this information falls into the hands of bad guys, it can be used to track or scam.
Be careful with friend requests and strange messages
Only accept friend requests from acquaintances or trustworthy people. Do not click on the link or attachment in a strange message to avoid the risk of data theft.
Use strong passwords and two-factor authentication (2FA)
Set complex passwords, combining letters, consonants, numbers and special characters. Aligning 2FA helps enhance security, limiting the risk of Hacking even if the password is exposed.
Manage third-party application access rights
Regularly check and revoke access to unnecessary or unreliable third-party applications and websites to limit security risks.
turned off location sharing
Do not share your location in a post or when using social media, especially at home or in a sensitive place, to avoid being followed through the location.
Use additional security tools
turned on the feature of checking login history, login warnings from strange devices or locations. Use advertising blocking software to reduce the risk of illegal data collection.
Read security terms carefully and update new features
Understand how social networks use personal data and monitor privacy updates to promptly adjust security settings accordingly.
Be careful when sharing photos and videos
Avoid posting photos or videos that may reveal sensitive information or help others identify and follow you.
