Below are the Internet Safety Tips that may help u in
keeping safe your info without getting hacked on Facebook or on other internet sites
too.
Tips 1: Don’t click on links or open
attachments that look suspicious. If it looks weird or sounds too good to be
true, don’t believe it.
Tips 2: Be
careful where you enter your password. Just because a page on the Internet
looks like Facebook or another site
you use, it doesn’t mean that it is. If you ever have doubts about whether a
link is real, simply type the website’s URL (ex: http://www.facebook.com)
into your address bar.
Tips 3: Be
suspicious of any email or message that contains an urgent request or asks you
to update your information or provide new information. If it sounds off or too
good to be true, it probably is.
Tips 4: Be
suspicious of emails or messages with misspellings or bad grammar, especially
if they’re from someone who is usually a good writer.
Tips 5: Make
sure you have an up-to-date web browser (ex: Internet Explorer) armed with an anti-phishing blacklist. Facebook supports:
Tips 6: Get
up-to-date security software on your computer that includes anti-virus,
anti-spyware, anti-phishing, and a firewall.
Tips 7: Set
your operating system (ex: Windows) to update automatically.
Tips 8: Add
security questions to all of your online accounts. This will come in handy if
you ever lose access and need to prove who you are.
Tips 9: Facebook
will never ask you for your password except to login in. Never send your
password in an instant message or an email.
Tips 10: Use different passwords for all of your online
accounts. If you use the same password everywhere, if that password was ever
stolen you could lose access to all of your accounts at once.
Tips 11: Choose a password only you would know. Don’t
pick a word from the dictionary. Try to use a combination of at least eight
letters, numbers, and symbols.
Tips 12: Remember that you choose what you share and
with whom you share it. Think before you post or give out information,
especially if that information is sensitive or personal.
Tips 13: Be careful when accessing or sending information
over an unsecured public wireless network. Don’t send sensitive information if
you can’t verify that a Wi-Fi network is secure, or turn on HTTPS from the
Account Settings menu.
Tips 15:
Most of the hackers use adult content to attach their phishing link. So be careful in extra when you are visiting any adult site or content.
Be smart to surf on internet.
