Protect privacy
In recent days there have been many reports on messages “fraud” like on Whatsapp or on the most used social network of the moment, namely Instagram.
Users have made many reports on messages from people they don’t know and who encouraged profiles to click on links not really sure.
The same happens for Facebook, which suggests users to more protection of your personal data and privacy.
When we sign up on Facebook we check well what do we insert, to avoid everyone having to know or know the contents that are posted on the pages. Facebook, on the settings page, gives the possibility to change privacy settings.
Pay attention to the photos
I’m on Facebook hundreds of thousands the photos that travel and that go around and that can happen in the hands and on keyboards Of hackers and internet pirates.
In fact, the photographs can be scanned using the computer and this allows the hacker to carry out thousands of attack attempts from your PC to other PCs, with the almost certainty of impunity; among the many PCs on which he tries to carry out activities fraudulent those who are poorly protected can easily return.
There is a method for the own safety can be better protected: to deactivate this function simply go to “settings and privacy” of our profile and then click in the “Settings”.
In the screen that appears you must then type in the search lens “Use of additional data”and at that point uncheck “Allow external search engines to redirect your profile”.
In this way the bad guys they will not have ease in order to scan photos on Facebook to carry out fraudulent uses that could be seriously harmful.
