5. 1. Your current location:
Firstly, never share your place
online. When the user sends their
position online, the user is putting
themselves at risk. Many people
are not aware that status or tweet
may also expose their location on
social media. So, always make sure
that your privacy and location
services are set up correctly.

6. 2. Confidential information about your
identity:
Secondly, never share personal information online. Personal
details like full name, phone number, address, can all be used by
potential identity thieves. Also, don’t share this information about
family members too. So, don’t make it easy for the identity
thieves by posting for the world to see.

7. 3. Financial information:
The information like account numbers, OTP number,
loans, and credit card information should not be revealed. It
is generally safe to use online banking and make purchases
with credit cards on reputable sites.

8. 4. Passwords:
Some people are stupid enough to share their
passwords. The user needs to be careful about any
information even if they share their passwords with others.
Make sure that you have a different password for each
networking site. If one password is stolen, then other of the
accounts will still be safe. Always use a strong password.

9. 5. Embarrassing statuses and photos you would
not want to be shared with your family or
employer:
Remember that anything you share has the potential to be
leaked in some manner. So, before you post online, ask yourself,
“Would I want my Mom or Boss to see this?”. If the answer is No,
then don’t post it. Generally, your instincts are correct. Always
make sure that you are protecting your online reputation. Never
share inappropriate information online.

10. 6. Private issues:
Private and personal matters should never be shared
online. If you are not comfortable with sharing the problem
with your family and friends, never share it online.

11. Don’t be
fooled by
taking a loan
through an
online loan
app.
