WARNING!
Social network websites can be hazardous if you don’t change the default settings!
5 Tips for Using any Social Network
1) Set appropriate privacy and security defaults and choose a complex/unique password for your account.
2) Be careful while installing third-party applications. Don’t use applications from sources you don’t trust.
3) Only accept friend requests from people you know in real world or atleast you've seen them once.
4) Read the privacy policy and terms of service carefully. (lil bit tedious, but you should do it)
5) Limit personal information while sharing and be careful about things you post.
Control Your Default Privacy
These settings can be found by clicking the arrow on the top
right then click Privacy Settings. Limit your audience to your friends only for your posts and photos.
Enable Secure Browsing (https) and Login Notifications
Account Settings-> Security-> Enable Secure
Browsing (check the box) and the box for Login
Notifications. For additional security check the box for
Login Approvals and enter your mobile number.
Facebook will send a SMS code to your phone that you
use when signing-in in addition to your password.
Use extreme caution when posting your phone numbers, address and work information.
and the most important thing : for facebook or any sort of security :
Be conscious and alert, understand what you're doing and just don't go on clicking anything and everything that comes around.
Stay safe.
