Social Media how you can increase your safety

Το θέμα της ασφάλειας των χρηστών στα μέσα κοινωνικής δικτύωσης (Social Media) έχει αποκτήσει μεγάλες διαστάσεις, καθώς τα κρούσματα κυβερνοεπιθέσεων με στόχο την κλοπή προσωπικών δεδομένων γίνονται όλο και συχνότερα. Εν τω μεταξύ, οι λειτουργίες και οι των social media αλλάζουν συνεχώς, και οι χρήστες, για να μπορούν να προστατεύουν τις προσωπικές τους πληροφορίες, χρειάζεται να ελέγχουν τακτικά τις ρυθμίσεις ασφαλείας των λογαριασμών τους. Καθώς τα μέσα κοινωνικής δικτύωσης είναι πολλά και διαφορετικά, η διαδικασία αυτή μπορεί να αποδειχτεί περίπλοκη.

For this reason, ESET gathered in the following guide, basic steps that if users follow, they will be able to easily control the security of their social media accounts.

Social Media Settings for accessing the account

Initially it is advisable to activate two-factor authentication functions, which are now offered by most social media. Many social media also display a list of devices from which the account is logged in, which should be checked for suspicious activity, and you can also enable the ability to receive notifications if a new connection is made. Finally, check them regularly that you have given access to in your account, removing those you no longer use.

Social Media Visibility of content and posts

An important security feature is who you authorize to see your posts. There are certain profile elements that are necessarily public, such as the image or χρήστη. Οι περισσότεροι όμως ιστότοποι θα επιτρέψουν να κρατήσετε τις υπόλοιπες πληροφορίες σας προστατευμένες, δίνοντας σας τη δυνατότητα να επιλέξετε σε ποιο κοινό και μέχρι ποιο επίπεδο είναι ορατό το περιεχόμενό σας. Ακόμα κι αν έχετε επιλέξει ορατότητα μόνο σε περιορισμένο κοινό, είναι καλό να θυμάστε ότι βρίσκεστε σε μία online and you must pay close attention to the content you upload.

Social Media Contact information and location

Social media offers many communication options among users, such as instant messaging, email, phone, and postal address, which even may not even need to be typed when GPS / geolocation is enabled. For greater security, you can limit the visibility of your contact information, who can look for you, and of course, disable GPS.

Social Media Send messages and comments

Some social networking sites allow you to limit who can send you or who can comment on your posts. You can do this by selecting or blocking groups or specific users.

Social Media Photo and video tags

If you want to be able to approve whether other users can tag you in photos or videos, you need to enable this option. Typically, someone can tag you without the need for approval by your side by default.

Social Activity Monitor and Ads

Οι περισσότεροι ιστότοποι - και όχι μόνο ιστότοποι κοινωνικής δικτύωσης - χρησιμοποιούν λειτουργίες παρακολούθησης της δραστηριότητας σας για να προβάλλουν εξατομικευμένες διαφημίσεις. Ορισμένα social media προσφέρουν τη δυνατότητα να προσαρμόζετε τον τρόπο ή τον χρόνο παρακολούθησης ή τις διαφημίσεις που εμφανίζονται.

Social Media Notifications

Alerts you receive from social websites can tell you when something unexpected and unwanted happens. At the same time, however, they may endanger you as it is essentially a "wave" of private information sent through an unencrypted channel, so they may eventually fall into the wrong hands. To protect your information, you can edit the format and methods of receiving notifications, even selecting the encryption if offered.

Social Media Automatic play

Content "running" is automatically used by malware to perform malicious actions. Turning off "auto-play" you will need to click each time to view the videos posted by the users, but at least you will have avoided the possibility that you may experience unpleasant surprises.

Although the press releases will be from very select to rarely, I said to go ... because sometimes the authors are hiding.
