Social Media and Your Security


This past week there was a post that keep running incessantly across my newsfeed about something with privacy and Facebook. People got into a panic and started reposting it thinking to themselves, “Damnit! I’m not gonna let Facebook invade my privacy!!!”

Without checking facts, it in fact was a scare tactic. This reminded me of some security basics and how naïve people tend to be when it comes to their social media zipping and buttoning up for protection.

Believe it or not, two in five of Facebook users don’t pay attention to their security settings, or think they have them set correctly when they don’t.  So, without further delay, I’m going to post an infographic about your security and what you should and shouldn’t be downloading on social media sites.

Watch out for those meme’s!!!

About Pegleg Web Designs

I started web design classes thru DeVry University in 2007 as a means to express my more creative side, since all I wanted to do in my Telecom job as a Project Manager was find creative and colorful ways to maintain high customer satisfaction ratings and keep my team happy by never ending contests, colorful displays of wit and wisdom along with the relentless smart ass comments. My creativity is the reason for my lack of sleep. Waking up at 2:30 in the morning with an idea in one's head can drive you crazy. Maybe I AM crazy, but in a good way. This blog is not really about web design, although I will probably pop in a word or two about that topic. Rather, this blog is about Us: You, me, what we deal with on an average day, week or month and how we really have more in common as total strangers than you think we do. Oh, and since I'm not the shy one in the bunch, I normally speak my mind (as well as what everyone else's mind is thinking, but dare not say). After reading my blog, hopefully we won't be strangers anymore, but similarly of like minded individuals when I write something and you think to yourself (or yell at your computer screen), "Yeah! That's what I thought too!!!"
