Facebook might seem like a "friends and family" social network, but it can expose your personal information to the whole world if you're not careful. Social engineering attacks play a large role in today's malware distribution. Be smart about what you reveal online. Here's how to tighten settings in Facebook to protect your privacy and prevent unwanted use of your personal information.
Here's How:
- Logon to your Facebook account.
- Select the Privacy tab.
- Change all settings listed to either "Only my friends" or "No one".
- Make sure the Wall option is set to "No one", otherwise Facebook may sell your photo to advertisers (without your explicit permission and with no control over the nature of those ads).
- In the past, Facebook has introduced privacy threatening features that have a default "opt-in" impact. Make it a point to periodically check your profile settings to ensure nothing is being revealed outside of your chosen friends network.
