New Media Issues

Security issues - Cyber Harassment

Hi! This is the last topic of this blogger that I share to you all. Hope you all will enjoy my sharing information.

      Nowadays, a lot of people like use social media to updates their current status and also communicate with their friends and also online friends. Social media make people feel convenient and also it is very easy to use. But, it also have the disadvantage for people. Sometime, people share too much of their personal information. For example, people like to “check in” when they go coffee bar, traveling, shopping and some more. It is very bad attitude for sharing this kind of information public in this social media, because other people will know you are not at home during that time. Some of the culprits will through your statues “check in” to know where you are staying and what time you will not at home, thus, they will grasp your status and steal money or valuable items from your home.

              

       Besides, people like to fill in their full personal information on social media, like their date of birth, current job, hometown, hand phone number, and so on. We should not let our information show public or share to our online friends. Because some people will take your personal information to create another new account to doing something which is bilking money, relationship, and so on. 

Here is the example of status the facebook user being hacked.  

As a conclusion, we should use social media with prudential and sane by not sharing too much of our personal information to public and online friends.
