HERE ARE SOME IMPORTANT TIPS TO THINK ABOUT BEFORE YOU POST:
Your personal information should be just that—personal. As hackers become more and more sophisticated, identity theft becomes a greater risk. And while it may be tempting to post pictures of your fabulous vacation, bear in mind that you’re also letting others know you’re away from home—making you vulnerable to a break in.
Use privacy and security settings to limit who can see what you share on- line. You wouldn’t give details of your private life to complete strang- ers in person, so don’t do it online either.
Let your social network know your boundaries. For example, if you don’t want images of yourself or your children post- ed online, let everyone know.
Social media doesn’t just spread information, it can also spread viruses and other risks to your computer. Defend your system by using the lat- est security software and web browser and install- ing updates regularly.

Remember that what you post online will stay online, so consider the long-term consequences. Would you want your coworkers or your boss to see this side of you?
Know what to do if some- one is making you feel unsafe online. Some steps you can take include blocking the offender, re- porting the person to the site administrator and re- moving him or her from your friends list.
Protect your social me- dia accounts by using password best practices. Long combinations of letters, numbers and symbols are the most se- cure, and separate pass- words should be used for each account.
