Top 10's on Security and Privacy
Are you feeling overwhelmed by the risks you hear about when it comes to safe and secure computing? You’re not alone. For every risk, there seems to be an endless stream of advice. So let’s keep it simple:
On Facebook: Visit the Privacy website to find a Top 10 list and video on how to protect yourself when using Facebook. Did you know that you can create separate lists of friends on Facebook to control who can see what? And that you can limit who can tag you in photos or “check you in” to places? Facebook’s greatest feature—the ability to connect you with many people in an instant—is also the source of its greatest peril. Make sure to check this list often, as Facebook terms and services are known to change regularly!
