The article above focuses on ways to keep your social media profiles all to yourself and how to prevent them from being hacked. Some of my friends have had to make new accounts for their social media pages because their last profile had gotten hacked. They had to start their profile all over from scratch. There are many ways to prevent being hacked. Here are some ways to help keep your social media to yourself – all from the article listed above.
The first way is to be careful with certain third-party applications. Only allow third-party applications to have access to your information if you know that the third-party app is legit. The next way is to use a strong password. Don’t reuse passwords for other social media networks you use, and be sure to include uppercase letters, lowercase letters, punctuation, and numbers to make a really strong password. The third way is to install antivirus software onto your computer. Use a trustworthy software that maybe your friends use – DON’T go find a random one on the internet, make sure it is legit. The last way is to enable two-factor authorization. This means that you will be alerted on another device when you sign into your account on a separate device. This lets the user know if they were the ones actually signing in to their profiles or not.
It is very important to know of ways to prevent your social media accounts from being hacked. When your social media accounts are hacked, it can lead to loads of your information being leaked online and to the hacker themselves. Keep your information in your own hands and be smart when it comes to your social media accounts online.
