<TIPS FOR STAYING SAFE ON SOCIAL MEDIA>
Adjust privacy settings to ensure your posts and profile information can be seen only by approved audiences. Limit the personal information you share online. Avoid posting work or personal schedules and travel itineraries, especially de- ployment information and return dates for yourself, a loved one, or a unit. Be cautious when accepting friend requests and interacting with people online. Never accept a friend request from someone you do not know, even if they know a friend of yours. Disable location-based social networking, or geotagging, on all social media platforms. (Geo- tagging is the process of adding geographical identification to photographs, video, websites, and text messages.) Don’t share information you don’t want to become public. Once you put it out there, you can’t control where it goes.
Because Internet crime is so
hard to crack down on, awareness is key to combating the threat. CID stresses the need for individuals to be alert and personally responsible for their online security. “Don’t send money to people you don’t know,” Grey says. “Before you give personal information on anything, you have to check it out. You have to do your homework. You have to be vigilant.”
