Protect your Facebook account

Almost everybody I know owns a facebook account. Everybody is so hook with the games that Facebook offers and is the reason why the site is now number 1 among all the networking sites. It’s amazing that it took Facebook only a few years to eclipse his biggest rival in the social networking sites, Friendster. But since Facebook population has grown, so are the identity thieves out there. 

It is not good to flag every single detail about your life on the internet like your birthday, the name of your spouse, family and even your children. You could modify certain information in your profile to keep your identity safe. To modify your birthday, go to your profile page and then you will see an info tab. Click that. And then click on the edit information and then under the Basic Information section, you option whether or not to show your birthday or show only the month and day. 

You could also restrict your photos, personal and family information. You have a choice to limit sharing your personal information and photos. Simply go to search sections of your privacy controls and select only friends for Facebook. This would prevent people you don’t know having a facebook or anyone browsing the internet in your personal information. Hope anyone finds this useful
