In order to really personal information and remained, you need to follow the precautions, communicating on the Internet.
Virtual friends.
On the Internet, many just go to talk. For this purpose, numerous services, websites, forums, chats, social networks have been created. They are meant for people to get acquainted, to communicate. Inevitably there are situations when we talk about ourselves. We begin to trust even those who have never been seen in person, but with whom we spend several hours a day in endless virtual conversations. We talk about our joys and failures, share secrets, give advice. How much do you control yourself, telling about where you live or work? Have you ever thought that the information you give to another person is easy to use against you? Where are the boundaries of your trust?
If you are afraid that your personal information can be used against you, just do not leave anything personal about yourself in the network. The Internet is so good that lies and truth are not so - it's easy to recognize. What is the trouble that you will be called a strange or fictitious name, change a couple of digits in your phone number, month and date on the date of birth and confuse the address? There is good advice for fans of virtual communication - to trust only those you know personally.
Icq.
Service under the popular name "ICQ" is one of the most popular on the Internet. It gives users the ability to send and receive text and image messages in real time, which, in fact, is very convenient if you share distance. Many believe that only those who are on their contact list can know about their number. In fact, you can be monitored by someone you do not suspect. And you can get information on ICQ without talking. It is enough to closely monitor changes in your status. "I went to lunch", "I sleep", "I work" - all this indirectly points to your location and allows fraudsters to act. Therefore, it is better to set neutral statuses "I'm online." Many people prefer to be invisible to everyone. This does not allow you to track your being on the network.
Passwords.
The password is considered a panacea, a universal protection against hacking a mailbox, a personal page, a diary. In fact, any password is hacked easily enough. Now people and special programs are doing it. Remember that using your personal data as a password, your full name, phone number and date of birth is more than silly. This is checked first. The combination of numbers and letters is the best defense, especially if this combination is clear only to you. Well, if only you know the password, and it will not be recorded anywhere, so that even an occasional person could not see it and use it for their own purposes.
Photo.
Share photos taken among Internet users. Many people do this often and with pleasure, without thinking about the consequences. It is worth knowing that any photo can be used for different purposes. If you do not want to see your image on porn, under a dubious ad, then limit access to it as much as possible. In addition, try not to spread the network photos that discredit you or someone from your loved ones. This is not difficult to know.
Remember that the network is used not only by good people, but also by criminals. They can have enough minimum information to use your credit card, Internet wallet. In addition, now there are frequent cases of burglary, which are based on information received from the network. Be careful, but do not panic. Then nothing will happen to you.
