Social Media Awareness

We all need to pay attention to Facebook, Twitter and social media we use. We may unwittingly subject ourselves, our computers and our private information to hackers. Here is a legitimate post I followed thru on and am glad I did:
"FB security change/account update needed: Look at your URL address (top box on your screen.) If you see ‘http’ instead of "https" you DO NOT have a secure session and can be hacked. Go to Account-Account Settings -Account Security, click Change. Check box (secure browsing, click Save.) FB has automatically set it on the non-secure setting. Do your friends a favor, copy and re-post."
These social media venues change constantly in the "features" they offer. Do yourself a favor and make a pact with yourself to review your account settings once a week!
