The current Facebook data scandal makes it very clear that it makes sense not to leave every piece of information about yourself online!
As an Internet user, you should think carefully about what you reveal about yourself and where on the Internet and what you share and post where. The Federal Office for Information Security provides tips on this topic for safe use of social networks!
The Federal Office for Information Security offers tips on how to become safer when using social networks.
Be cautious about disclosing personal information!
Find out about the general terms and conditions and data protection regulations of the social network you use!
Be selective in contact requests - criminals “collect” friends to harm people!
Report “cyberstalkers” who contact you unsolicited and persistently via the social network.
Use a different and secure password for each internet application, especially if you are logged in to different social networks!
Do not reveal confidential information about your employer and your work!
Check critically what rights you grant the operators of social networks to the images, texts and information you post!
If you receive “dubious” requests from acquaintances, ask outside social networks about the trustworthiness of this message!
Don't click on links randomly - social networks are increasingly being used to carry out phishing!
Talk to your children about their activities on social networks and educate them about the dangers!
The internet doesn't forget anything
Information you spread via social networks stays online forever. Even if you delete your account, it is almost impossible to remove links and comments on other profiles. So don't post any information that might make you regret it later.
