Social Media is the current social craze and we tend to share every celebration and information. This can turn out to be dangerous if misused by hackers and miscreants.
For example, from your
uploaded photo people will know your current location. And that can be misused
by anyone.
Your house could be
burgled, photograph morphed/ photo shopped photo and misused. It can even cause
embarrassment when you meet some relatives and skip others in the same city.
During a travel, if
you are using any public network you should be careful in accessing any private
or confidential data such as bank account details, password file through such
unsecured network. If the device that you use to access such data is virus
affected there are enough chances that your data can be infected
Once on the internet,
information becomes public and there is very little we can do after the
incident.
Prevention is always better than cure.
Some tips to stay safe on social media:
·
Do not accept friend
requests from unknown people
·
Join groups where you
are confident you know the context

information and photos on Public groups
