The Cyprus Police gives us five tips on what we should and should not announce on Social Media.
Posted date of birth
If our date of birth is posted publicly on Facebook, there are various risks. We may feel good to see dozens of "friends" wishing us for our birthday, but at the same time we give joy to any expert, who can with all the information we generously give him, falsify (date of birth, name, profile photo, etc. ), various personal documents, (from driver's license to our passport).
Alone or alone at home
One of the worst but also our daily mistakes to make public is that we are alone at home. The risk may be minimal, but it always lurks.
Where are we
Publishing our every move, even accompanying it with photos, is also one of the repeated mistakes we make. We give every criminal and expert information useful.
Our family situation
For each expert, the word "single" acts as a magnet, as well as when we "change our marital status" from "married" to "single", automatically those who follow our profile and have other motives , realize that we are in a "vulnerable position".
Photos of our children
Perhaps the biggest mistake one can make on Social Media is uploading photos of one's children. The risks are huge, we will just list one for the concern of all of us. Every photo of a child on Facebook and on the internet in general is a candidate to be exploited by various pedophile circuits. Every photo of a child that is uploaded is a candidate for technical processing, so that the child appears naked on illegal pedophile websites. The thought of the above possibility alone should be a deterrent to all of us.
Before we post anything on Social Media we need to think twice! Prevention is the best method to avoid dangerous situations !!
