Kung may isa o higit ka pang na-ipost sa social media sa listahan na nasa itaas ay magiging mas madali sa mga taong mapagsamantala na mapasok ang iyong pribadong buhay.
Remember, any person who has a good eye for exploiting personal information can use or abuse yours by using it themselves. This might endanger your privacy and the privacy of the people in your social media circle.
To avoid getting hacked, here are the tips I can share with you to ensure your safety.
√Secure your password
-Ang password ay mahalaga at kung maaari ay iba’t-iba sa bawat account na mayroon ka. Your password must be strong to be truly safe, mas maganda ring kombinasyon ito ng mga letra at mga numero at kung maaari ay walang personal na impormasyon tungkol sa iyo.
√Ang pinakamatibay na password ay tinatawag na PASSPHRASE.
-Kombinasyon ng MALALAKI at maliliit na letra, mga simbolo at mga numero.
Halimbawa:
•HEARTLESSnostalgia_o29*$
√Walang laman na kahit anong personal na impormasyon tungkol sa’yo.
Halimbawa:
•Pangalan at kaarawan
√Mga salita na ikaw lang ang nakakaalam. We often laugh about the jeje days we’ve hidden in our past but do you know that we can use this as a password?
Halimbawa:

√Don’t post important information on social media.
-Keep your information to yourself. Marami ang mga nabibiktima ngayon ng mga krimen na konektado sa social media accounts.
√Don’t add just anyone on facebook/ social media accounts.
-It is highly recommended for you to just add those who has more than one mutual friend connected to you or just add those you know personally.
√Don’t just accept anyone on facebook/social media accounts.
-Maging mapanuri sa mga bagay na ito, siguraduhing kilala ito at magkilatis muna nang maiigi bago i-accept ang friend requests.
√Avoid logging in or downloading your personal and private information/files on public internet café.
-People in computer shops are most likely the victims of hacking. May mga pagkakataong naiiwang nakalagay roon sa mga website ang iyong email na maaaring magamit sa pagbukas ng iyong account.
-Iwasan rin ang pag-download ng mga personal na files kagaya ng mga birth certificate, bank account statement at iba pang mga pribadong impormasyon.
-Ugaliing burahin ang history at mga cookies o mga maliliit na impormasyon sa computer na ginamit.
-Also, make sure that the internet shop must be open and can be seen from the outside.
-Use private browsing and log out the accounts.
