Even a day ago, they was breaking news that more than 100 Million users public info was shared (source : TechCrunch) . Here are few security tips for you !

Sharing information on Facebook:

First of all, the main reason that Facebook has always threatened is that it allows anonymous users to look into your information. Hackers collect these information and use them . They also sell them online. I have seen many restricted forums about this. You can change the Privacy option , to make sure whom you need to  share information. To do so, log in and change the Privacy settings . It is good to use Friends only for sharing. If you wanted to know more explanation about this , you can check this Facebook page.

Adding Devices:

This lets you to get notification when someone from other PC or devices login to your account. You get an Instant email and SMS to your mobile(incase if you have added your mobile number into the account). To use this settings Go to the My Account settings page , opt by selecting YES in Account Security section.

After clicking Submit button, re-login to save the Device(PC or mobile) by using a custom name like HOME PC. Mark  the “Don’t ask me again from this computer” Check box !

You can cancel the notification at any time by selecting No for Would you like to receive notifications for logins from new devices?
