We do everything on a computer these days, but how safe are we? Here are some tips for personal safety on the internet when using Social Networking Sites like Facebook:
1. On social networking sites, do not tag photos with your children’s full names.
2. Never update your status to suggest when you’ll be gone for long periods of time (like on vacation).
3. Use strong passwords that are hard to guess and hard to remember.
4. Never post your entire birth date or your address.
5. Set your privacy selections in your account so that you have control over who is seeing your personal information.
6. If there are items you only want certain people to see, email them privately instead of posting them for the world to see.
7. Change your password regularly.
8. Opt not to post certain personal information like hometown, personal email addresses, and chat usernames.
