Tips for safe use Facebook

Tips for safe use Facebook.
Beware with Phishing, Phishing attacks are always relying on the Internet as a medium. Phishing is a tactic designed by cyber criminals to steal someone's identity, collect victim data, and used to defraud and obtain money victims.

Phishing activity is now being threatened facebook users. Kaspersky lab has recently seen a large increase in phishing attacks on the facebook login page, gives tips for safe protection from phishing attacks. Tipsnya following:

1. Facebook password is your security
Okay, this part I started with a question, "Anyone who knows your facebook password?" Only you yourself, parents, or anyone else know?

* If only you yourselves know that facebok password, it means you have to act safely in using facebook.
* Parents also know, that's good it means you are in the proper supervision. You're so brave guns do all sorts on facebook.
* There was another person who knows besides you and your parents. Wow, you are in a less secure zone. Remember even though it was a good friend or the person nearest you nonetheless very risky. Who knows someday you quarrel with him, then he was to work on you through the facebook account. My advice, do not risk.
2. For social network sites like facebook , make a bookmark to the login page. Or typing the URL directly in the browser bar addresses : http://www.facebook.com/
3. Do not click on links in email messages .
4. Only typed confidential data in a secure and trusted website.
5. Check your bank account is regularly and report anything suspicious to your bank.
6. Find a giveaway sign of a phishing email.
7. Install software for secure internet surfing.
8. Update your anti virus periodically.
9. Install security patches.
10. Beware of email messages / spam received.
11. Be careful when asking for the log in administrator rights.
12. Backup your computer data .
13. Sign out (exit)
Especially for the facebookers the facebook from Internet cafes. Be careful when going round activity in the cafe. Make sure all your accounts in the computer is in the sign out (exit). I never opened a computer in a cybercafe and immediately found a facebook account that has not come out. Well you know, try it this time I intend ignorant, sure I had a random random-facebook account.

Just a reminder that playing facebook wanet never ticked the box remember password dialog on this computer. This also applies to all such accounts gmail or yahoo mail.
