Safe Social Media Practices

Social media is a powerful tool for connecting with friends, family, and professional contacts. However, in the wrong hands, it can also become a weapon for identity theft, fraud, and even stalking or harassment. Basic interactions you have on social media could compromise your online safety and security.

"How to Safely Use Social Media" outlines safe social media practices to stay connected with your social network—without giving away private information to ill-intentioned individuals.
