If you spend a lot of time on social media, it’s very likely that you share a lot of personal data online. We often list our full names, schools we went to, jobs, family connections and friends, places we live or frequent, hobbies and interests, political views and music preferences, etc. on various social media accounts. All this information can be used against us. Scammers can use your personal data to copy your profile and trick your friends or colleagues into asking for money or sensitive information.
They can also use information gathered from your social networks to guess your answers to security questions on banking or dating sites, to steal your online accounts or to harass you. Fortunately, some quick and easy fixes listed below will help you keep your personal data safe without giving up your social media usage.
