Information that can not be posted on social networks: top 6

[Объединенное Детективное Бюро]

Social networks are a phenomenon of a whole generation, selflessly exchanging photos, music and video files on Facebook, MySpace and Twitter. However, despite the easy opportunity to find former classmates on social networks, restore lost friendships and make new ones, there are a number of things that in no case can be published on the Web using your account - unless, of course, you want the crooks to use it all grades. You must be fully aware of the fact that by sharing some information you are putting yourself in jeopardy. So, what information should in no case be posted on social networks? 1. Date and place of birth You may well indicate the date and month of birth, but the year should not be indicated. With such detailed information, fraudsters can easily find and crack data on your financial transactions. 2. Vacation plans There is no better way to say “Please steal something from me” than post on Facebook the message “Three days before the holidays! Turkey, wait for us!”. It is better to post holiday photos after, and not during the trip - you should not make life easier for criminals and tell them about the exact period of your absence. 3. Home address Social network users posting information about their home address are at greater risk of identification. According to studies, about 40% of users of social networks publish information about their home address on their pages, about 65% do not even try to use the privacy settings to protect posted information from unauthorized users, and another 60% admitted that they are not sure that they personally know all your Facebook friends. 4. Information about work You can hate your job, lie about paying taxes, be a consumer of light and hard drugs - that's just Facebook is not the best place for confessing to mild and moderate sins. Employers often use social networks to check the trustworthiness of their future employees - or to find incriminating evidence on current ones. A waitress can be fired for a public network complaint against customers, a bank employee for “drunk” photos in the public domain, etc. In one study, it was estimated that over the past year, about 8% of all companies fired someone from employees for the “misuse” of social networks. 5. Word-passwords If you have online accounts, you probably answered a hundred "secret" questions in them by telling your bank or investment company your mother’s maiden name or the name of your favorite song. The same information is listed on your social network page "You just gave the scammers an easy way to guess your passwords. 6. Evidence of risky behavior Do you like to drive around the city famously, smoke like a steam train and love paragliding? Remember that insurance companies often use Facebook to find information tion of whether their clients are subjected to risk their lives or their property. A link is not valid

On the issue of social networks and their role in our lives (information from the website of the Press Office of the Office "K" of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs):

Social networks are actively used by cybercriminals to engage children and adolescents in the distribution of pornographic materials involving minors through the Internet.

To do this, a fictional questionnaire (electronic page) is created, where photoshoots and fictitious data of minors taken from various open sources are used. Thus, the porn dealer is disguised as an ordinary teenager who is trying to talk about himself on the Internet and find new friends with common interests.

In the course of electronic communication, conditions are created that encourage the teenager to send their candid photos. Once received, these images are distributed on thematic forums, file-sharing systems and photo and video portals.

Often, an adversary’s personal data becomes known to an attacker, and then the so-called “trolling” or bullying occurs (posting provocative messages on the Internet in forums, discussion groups, wikis for the purpose of personal entertainment and creating conflicts between participants). This is necessary to establish a circle of acquaintances, teachers and parents of a teenager in order to send them received provocative photos.

When communicating on social networks, remember:
- Any person with whom you met on the network and entered into correspondence, may be just a fictional character. Without seeing it with your own eyes, you can never be sure of its real existence!
- Information sent by you through the Internet - be it personal data, photos or videos - can be used against you, including for personal and criminal purposes.

Dear Parents! Instruct your children about basic safety rules on the Internet!

I will always know these rules!
