These Tips Will Help You Protect Your Identity & Data Online

USE SOCIAL MEDIA WISELY

Sharing every detail of our lives on social media has become the norm, but that doesn’t mean it’s wise. The information can enable identity theft, and also be used to commit offline crimes including stalking, according to the National Cyber Security Alliance. Use a little common sense: Make profiles visible only to family members and true friends. Don’t accept requests from anyone you don’t know well. And reconsider posting anything potentially sensitive, such as your birthday, address, or employer. Sharing vacation photos before coming home can be an invitation for a burglar, who now knows there’s time to ransack a home undisturbed.
