Safety in social networks: what data is better not to indicate or hide
In the modern world, it is important to observe information hygiene and the main rules of behavior in social networks, the St. Petersburg TV channel reports.
There is information that needs to be hidden. In the public domain, there should be no information about the person, his phone number and address. Experts advise to check the pages of children, which often publish such data.
Psychologist Leonid Armer warned that having an address and a photo, a criminal could attack a user in real life. Therefore, it is better to keep the pages closed from strangers so that they do not violate personal boundaries and do no harm.
“Citizens of any age dump redundant information about themselves on the page. The feeling is that people have left and left open the door to their apartment in a disadvantaged area, ”said Armer.
A new type of fraud has appeared in Russia – cybercriminals make a duplicate SIM card and write off funds through a banking application. Experts recommend that users issue a second virtual number in the mobile operator's application – banks and social networks can be linked to it, it is associated with the main one, but is not available to third parties.
