FACEBOOK SECURITY INSPIRED BY THE NEWS..
Well its Friday and another fast week down, and love all the postings on face book, the happy , the sad , the informational , the entertaining , the events etc. If anything face book is a release, but just a reminder ,, be safe about what you post, I know,, its my business , its my thoughts its my life.. But sometimes you have to wonder or just think about who;s out there? Its in the news all the time,hackers, assaults from online comments, break ins into homes and etc..
Why does this happen,, ? Well ,, at times we forget that the moment we post things,, its there forever,, even you delete or hide it.. an experienced hacker can retrieve it and once they do,, they can reproduce it and share it around the world.. Its a tough thing to fathom, because we all feel safe under the monitor,, But safety in today's world is just a finger tip away. I know in this age, people get more offended upset when things are written down!! Why? Because its there forever,, no matter what and if the intended user already reads it,, damage done. I know.. No one is going to hurt you or rob you or what.. But its in the news all the time,, people getting stalked , raped, hurt , and even killed, because of things posted on social media.. ts better to be wise than sorry.,
If anything just be ready or prepared for the consequences of your actions.. Like for example, posting your on vacation... big no no,, now,, if someone is a criminal,, and know where you live , than that's the time you can get robbed..Because you just posted your on vacation,, and no one is home? Just think about it..? Not a good idea,.. But I know we are all excited to share our lives with family and friends, but maybe its better to wait until you get back and post them.. Just a security and peace of mind thought..
Same with posting events,, like birthday parties and the length of time you will be out,, of the house,, another bad idea.. I know,, how can people find out about parties.. well what about good old phone call or a actual card invite.. I know, its easier to post events on face book, but you are also make it easier for you to be a victim of crime or worse.. Its a different world today, faster , smarter , but also more scarier , with all the technological advances.. we have at our disposal, Its tough to have security in our minds, but sometimes we need reminders..
Like lock your doors at home , use double locks and use locks on your windows,, always..
Another tip, is always change passwords,, to all your accounts,, on a regular basis.. Identity theft happens more to often than ever! Be safe with your credit and debit cards , and always secure them from any compromise..
Final Friday thoughts... Just be more prudent about what you post and when you post them..Just remember not everyone on the web is a friend, they are predators, opportunist and criminals searching and lurking for chances to take advantage of people.. Now, if your secure or confident about what you post and how you post them. Then your in the right , its your personal choice we all have to make.But don't feel bad or regretful when bad things happen.. Life is a constant battle to stay ahead,, and cyber security , home security and personal security are things we all take for granted. Is face book safe? I say it can be, but you also have to be accountable fro your actions and Leary of what or who is watching? Postings about where you are or what you are doing,, can be dangerous and what you say about people can be damaging to your health.. There is a reason why there is mas shootings or assaults in today's world.. people today get offended and because of that anger ,, some people choosy to harm others.. and the problem is,, You don't know if its gonna happen at a football game, a movie theater , a mall , a school,, at work.. I mean. just check out the news,, its all theres,, people shot just sitting in their cars, or front yards... its a maddening world and we all have to take our own responsibility fro what we do on social media.. I'm not trying to scare people,,just make people aware,,, Awareness is the key to protection in life.. Its whats keeps us ready for the world challenges.. So have a great Friday,,, and just be aware and know the consequences you may face by your postings or comments.. They are trolls, hackers and criminals looking for that opening,,,
Just a reminder..
1) Be careful about posting about your vacations.. Why -- criminals or enemies know when your not home.
2) Be careful with comments.. Why/? People get offended and can harm you by something that was sarcastic in your mind,. But its hard to read sarcasm in written form..
3) Be careful about personal information and future events.. like the reminder 1, People can do awful things when they know when you work, or know when your going to parties or vacations.. Don't make it easy for criminals..
Lastly , just be safe with your passwords and your social media info.. Security is a active and daily activity.. Just like personal safety.. No one cares about yourself,, than you.. Protect what you have, what you say and how you say it.. and above all.. Have fun today and be safe and Enjoy your face book postings,,and just be aware of what you do on face book and always monitor your kids activity,,, They are young , and often naive about the goings on of real life.. As a parent , as a mentor,,Its important to protect yourself and your family and make them aware of the dangers of reckless social media postings.. Have a great day and enjoy life!!
