Sign into your account10 Social Media Safety Tips
September 16 2014
In honor of REALTOR® Safety Month, your team at Point2 has compiled a list of 10 helpful tips to keep you and your personal information safe while networking on social media.
1. Minimize the personal info that you share, especially if it pertains to your password or security questions. You know not to post your social security number online, but other security details are often overlooked. Your birthday, mother's maiden name, and high school mascot are all common security questions—and all details that can likely be found on Facebook. Minimize your personal info online. When you can, create your own security questions.
2. You know those privacy settings? Customize them! Many platforms allow you to categorize your friends and followers into groups and then customize exactly who sees what. Take advantage of those features.
3. Skip the "import contacts" option. Many social media and email sites offer to import your contacts from another platform. Some sites will spam your contacts (ahem, clients) with unwanted offers, promotions, and even fraudulent links. Read the site's privacy and sharing policies first and proceed with caution.
4. Schedule automatic updates for your security software. It may be annoying to get a status bar pop-up as your update loads, but that's nothing compared to falling prey to a scam or attack because of outdated security software.
