 Use a strong password different from the
passwords you use to access other sites.
 If you are asked to provide security questions, use
information that others would not know about
you.
 Consider not using your real name, especially your
last name. Be aware that this may violate the
terms of service of some social networks.

before signing up for an account.
Be sure to keep strong antivirus and spyware
protection on your computer
 Provide only information that is necessary or
that you feel comfortable providing. Remember,
you can always provide more information to a
social network, but you can’t always remove
information once it’s been posted.

available on any social network you use.
 Don’t share your birthday, age, or place of
birth. This information could be useful to
identity thieves and to data mining
companies.

especially any that state your security
software is out of date or that security
threats and/or viruses have been detected
on your computer.

12. “The world is getting closer
everyday and everyone wants to be
connected and social networking
helps in that ….But The real defense
is to learn how not to fall victim to
social engineering.”
