What harm can it do? You know, seeing your favourite hairdresser or coffee shop on social media, and clicking on the Like button? And what about all those little quizzes and fun games that appear? Like what are your top 5 places to visit, what was your first pet called etc. Not to mention the “your rock star name is…” and you have to give two pieces of information and then share them with your friends. That’s just opened up a treasure trove for the bad guys.
This short video shows what can happen in the time it takes you to order and receive your coffee.
How can you protect yourself from giving away all this information? Just spend a little time going through the security settings on all your social media platforms. If you’re not sure how to do this, use Google to find the answer. Oh, and do this on a regular basis, as the social media firms can and do change your settings from time to time.
