Have you ever wondered how safe your personal information is after all many of us are far too quick to share things such as birthdays, holidays, jobs and celebrations on social media, sharing might seem like the thing to do, but this information can give hackers all the personal data they need to impersonate us and ultimately make our lives a misery, try explaining to a debt collector that the money owed is not by you especially when they have all of your personal details correct! Well, all is not lost, here are some tips for Data Protection Day that could help us all in this very serious matter.
In light of Data Protection Day today (Friday 28th January) Sam O’Brien, Chief Marketing Officer at performance marketing platform affise, shares his expert tips on how users can keep their data as safe as possible whilst using social media.
“With over 200,000 social media influencers with their personal information (including passwords) exposed for the world to see, it is more crucial than ever to ensure your details are protected.
“If social media is your livelihood, someone gaining access to your accounts could mean a huge drop of income and possibly even a loss of future brand collaborations and advertisement deals.
“There are many things that can be done to ensure your privacy remains secure – and there is much more to it than simply ensuring you have a really secure and unique password that’s changed on a regular basis. All these small measures add up when it comes to online security, which is why we felt the need to devise a fool-proof list of dos and don’ts.”
