Top Tips for Staying Secure on Facebook

• Only Friend people you know.

• Create a good password and use it only for Facebook.

• Don’t share your password.

• Change your password on a regular basis.

• Share your personal information only with people and companies that need it.

• Log into Facebook only ONCE each session. If it looks like Facebook is asking you to log in a second time, skip the links and directly type www.facebook.com into your browser address bar.

• Use a one-time password when using someone else’s computer.

• Log out of  Facebook after using someone else’s computer.

• Use secure browsing whenever possible.

• Only download Apps from sites you trust.

• Keep your anti-virus software updated.

• Keep your browser and other applications up to date.

• Don’t paste script (code) in your browser address bar.

• Use browser add-ons like Web of Trust and Firefox’s NoScript to keep your account from being hijacked.

• Beware of “goofy” posts from anyone—even Friends. If it looks like something your Friend wouldn’t post, don’t click on it.
