LinkedIn is a social networking site designed specifically for the business community. The goal of the site is to allow registered members to establish and document networks of people they know and trust professionally.
Be selective with friend requests. If you don’t know the person, don’t accept their request. It could be a fake account.
Click links with caution. Social media accounts are regularly hacked. Look out for language or content that does not sound like something your friend would post.
Be careful about what you share. Don’t reveal sensitive personal information i.e.: home address, financial information, phone number. The more you post the easier it is to have your identity stolen.
Become familiar with the privacy policies of the social media channels you use and customize your privacy settings to control who sees what.
Protect your computer by installing antivirus software to safeguard. Also ensure that your browser, operating system, and software are kept up to date.
