SECURITY
5 DETAILS YOU SHOULDN'T GIVE FACEBOOK
By Kim Komando

The whole point of Facebook is to share your life with other people. You probably have more than a few friends who fall into the over-sharing category. But don’t snicker. You may be one, too, and not even know it.

Here are five personal tidbits Facebook asks you to share that you’re much better off keeping to yourself.

1. YOUR PHONES NUMBER

It's a really bad idea to add your home or cellphone number to your Facebook page. Prank callers, stalkers, scammers and identity thieves would love to use this information against you.

Not only that, but there’s a Facebook trick that works pretty much most of the time. Anyone can use your phone number to search and find your Facebook page.

One security researcher, Reza Moaiandin, took it a step further and found he didn't even need to know a specific phone number. He wrote a program to generate every possible number in the U.S., U.K. and Canada, submitted the numbers to Facebook and got back information from millions of profiles that had poor privacy settings. If he had wanted to, he could have turned around and sold the information on the black market to hackers who build and sell "fullz," or packages of identity information.

If you do give your phone number to Facebook, be sure to hide it in your profile.

Go to Facebook and click on your name at the top of the page. When your profile page loads, click the "Update Info" button in the lower-right corner of your cover image. Go to "Contact and Basic Info" in the left column and next to your phone number click the "Edit" link.

Click the "audience selector" icon, which will either be a globe or a silhouette of two people or a lock. If you see the lock, you don’t have to do anything. But if you see the globe or silhouette, change it to "Only me." Now no one can see your phone number, and it won't show up in searches.

2. YOUR HOME ADDRESS

Post a picture of your recent vacation or major new purchase and this puts you at risk. Think for a moment of all the terrible things that might happen if some nefarious person knew your home address. Remove it from your Facebook profile.

Follow the directions in the last section to get into the "Contact and Basic Info" section of your profile information. Look for "Neighborhood," and if there's an address there, click the "Edit" link next to it and wipe out the information. Then click "Save Changes."

One other place you might find your address is under events. If you create an event, it will likely have your address, so people know where to go. If that accidentally gets set to Public, then anyone can see it.

Either delete the event right after it happens, or tell people who are coming to message you for the address. Be sure to check back through your history to get rid of any old events or posts that have your address in them. Click here to learn how to use Facebook's built-in tools to make it easier.

3. ANYTHING WORK-RELATED

Try not to leave any information on Facebook that reveals where you work. If someone from your workplace tries to search for employees on Facebook, she might find a post or photo she doesn’t like.

Similarly, if a hacker wanted to figure out whom to target if he wanted to break into your workplace's computers, social media would be his first stop. Of course, hackers are more likely to hit LinkedIn first.

Bonus tip: If you're worried about coworkers or employers creeping on your Facebook profile, then change these three basic features.

Again, you can use Facebook's timeline tools to do a scan of your past posts. Remove any information about your current job, especially if it's of a complaining nature. If you have posts about previous jobs, you might want to remove those as well. A current coworker or supervisor you decide to friend might see them and it could color her opinion of you.

4. YOUR RELATIONSHIP STATUS

Including your relationship status on your Facebook page just invites awkwardness. The number of "likes" that you might get from people after you change your status from "married" to "it's complicated" will creep you out.

Bonus tip: Have some pictures you want to keep in the family? Here's a tip that will teach you how to make sure that some of your friends don't see all of your photos.

Certain relationship statuses are also a draw for cyberstalkers. At one point, there even was a Facebook app that would notify you if friends you flagged changed their relationship status to "single."

Don't forget the scammers out there who specialize in sweetheart scams. They use social media, email and dating sites to create a romantic connection with you and then swindle you out of money. You don't want them to see that you're single on Facebook and get ideas. It's easier just to remove your relationship status entirely.

5. YOUR PAYMENT INFORMATION

Facebook is free, but it still wants your credit card number. Adding your financial information lets you buy gift cards and other products straight through the website. How convenient!

Of course, one of the best ways to accidentally get your credit card charged for something is to leave your Facebook profile open on your home computer. A small family member or a "joking" friend at your home could use it to spend money on something straight through Facebook. You don't want that to happen, do you?

Open your Facebook, click the upside-down triangle in the top right corner and choose "Settings." In the left column select "Payments," and then on the right go the "Account Settings" tab. You can see if you have any saved payment information and remove it.

This also keeps it out of the hands of any hackers who break into your Facebook profile. Better yet, click here to learn how hackers use scams to take control, and how to spot and avoid dangerous ones.

I don't observe what you people are talking about, because i had 520mb now and my data will expire on 30th of this month.so as far as I'm concerned Glo Bis remain the only cheap and long lasting data for now.

What we are saying is that your 520 be will not last you for a week. The validity will however remain the same. In order words, your data will be exhausted before your validity irrespective of how you use it. Just watch out.

bufness:
am experiencing d d
same tin, recently i tried leaving my ntwrk on 2g only, to see it ut will last longer.

Dis same tin happened on my last data renewal, tot it was spent fast cos of some minor software updates, only to discover d new subscription is burning fast too. I'm beginning to suspect Glo has deliberately reprogram it thus. My opinion anyway.

I reloaded/renewed my data subscription on 19th August, 2015 which was successful, only for me to get another message today, 28th August, 2015 that my data will be autorenewed. Kindly note that I did not do any download of video/audio of any kind and I did not do any application update or firmware update on my Jiayu s3 advance. In fact, my firmware update is set to wifi only. Anybody experiencing this, what could be the problem?

It is an offence that is punishable under the law.

Ike Ikweremadu(Deputy Senate President) is not an Igbo man abi. You did not mention him throughout your write up. Just reminding you niii that we are not all foolish like your blind taniods who have been vomiting trash.

tunspider post =35972366:
you mean magnetic levitation?

Yes. Thanks.

This can be scientifically explained. If he puts two powerful magnet in is pockets(North Pole) letting them face the rug, with another powerful magnet (South Pole) under the rug, facing upward. You will get this type of magnetic suspension. I wish to be corrected if I'm wrong. Over to you scientists.

Zannx:

He's well paid and buys from a reputable store in Lagos for almost 120k, I checked it myself to confirm its authenticity( using CPU Z and Antutu Benchmark). I may not argue fuda with you if you are not willing to carry out a simple comparative studies.
The attached information is for your education so you may wish to adhere to verified claims.
Thanks and God bless.

Zannx:
so are you trying to say that jiayu s3 camera beats the xperia z3??

Yes sir. I make BOLD to say it cos we tried both side by side. I'll appreciate it if uld try it out first b4 further comments so we can argue on proven Facts and not BRAND NAME. Thanks.

Went out to take some pictures with a friend today, he was armed with Sony Xperia Z3 Dual(20.7 MP) and I, with Jiayu s3 advance of 13.0MP. By the time we started taking pictures, bros no be for mouth or spec. When he saw the quality of the Jiayu s3 advance pictures, honestly, he started begging that I take the pictures and transfer to him through Bluetooth. The price of His phone is almost x3 of my Jiayu s3 advance but my Jiayu s3 advance made me proud. Thanks to Jiayu and initialize who supplied me.

He sings Bob Marley's "Diallo Diallo"... as his favorite.

Its nothing but showmanship. They just want people to notice them. Meekness and pacifism is actually stupid sometimes.

True Talk...

I watched with a heavy heart yesterday when the kin of those killed in the Charleston Church come out one after the other to forgive the killer; Dylan Roof.

This pattern of forgiveness I observe is common to the Black Americans when their oxen are gored.

The spate and the speed in which the murderer was forgiven leaves more to be desired.

Is this forgiveness borne out of cowardice/weaknesses, religion or self consolation? The answer to this question seems rhetoric.

I took exemption to this type of forgiveness expecially when the culprit has not sought for such or showed remorse for his actions or in actions.

I sense there is more to this forgiveness as pronounced on National TV. or perhaps, my reservation on the Christian teachings of forgiveness.

You may wish to set the lines straight but I strongly opine that this is a pure case of cowardice and inferiority complex of the Black people in the United States.

I think the Church should be separated from the state. This is a purely criminal case, forgiveness in this wise should be personal.

raayah:
Its a religious thing.

If this is a religious injunction, I fear the Black Americans are taken it too far. Can't they just show a strong nerve for once?

Copying Samsung... I see patent right lawsuit coming.

My take, he simply doesn't want anything that will associate him with the current administration.

Please, I will like to know any reputable online Pharmaceutical Store in Nigeria.
You may wish to help with the link and or, it's address.
Thanks and God bless.

You are a bastard for calling a crowned Oba a fool.... We the Yorubas know very well that your tribe lacks respect for elders.
Your end in Lagos is near... keep facilitating it.

Battery life nko ?

Android as bin up and coming this days, most Android phones released lately have at least 3000mah and some, like Gionee M3 boost well above 5000mah battery juice.

Aida13:
