7. Don’t Share Personal Information on a Public Site
Sharing personal information on public sites can expose you to identity theft and other cyber threats. Information like your address, phone number, or financial details should never be shared publicly. Always be cautious about the information you post online and consider the potential risks.
Review your privacy settings on social media and other public platforms. Ensure that only trusted friends and contacts can view your personal information. Limit the amount of information you share publicly to minimize your risk.
Be aware of the information you share in online forums, comments, and other public areas. Even seemingly harmless information can be used by cybercriminals to build a profile and target you for phishing or other attacks.
Consider using aliases or pseudonyms when participating in public discussions or forums. This can help protect your identity and keep your personal information safe from prying eyes.
Educate others about the importance of online privacy and the risks associated with sharing personal information publicly. Awareness and caution are key to protecting yourself and your loved ones from online threats.
