Use Facebook Privacy Settings

Facebook has numerous privacy settings that you should utilize to protect yourself. Putting too much information on Facebook and not filtering who sees it sets you up for identity theft or worse. Here are some things to keep in mind when using Facebook:

• Be careful who you add as a friend. Once added, they can see all of your information and everything you post.
• Don't put your phone number or address on your profile.
• Avoid putting your birthday and other personal information on your profile. A lot of this information is used to verify your identity other places so it is key information for someone stealing your identity.
• Change your settings so that your profile, including your wall and photos, are only viewable by your friends.
• If someone is bothering you on Facebook, be sure to utilize your block list so that they can no longer access your profile.
• Remember that most things on the internet, stay on the internet. Be careful with what ends up there!
