Top five things which should never be shared on Facebook


The social media has become
 an integral part of everyday
 life but users need to be aware
 of what and how much they 
share on sites like Facebook
 which might be used by 
malicious hackers.
Those users who use the
 name of their pets as password
for their social media account
 should try and avoid
 revealing it online and a
 recent research by
 Google indicated that
 1 in 6 people use their
pet’s name as password.
Another of such social
 media shares which make
 a strict no-no is one’s
 mother’s maiden name,
 which is a security question
asked by a bank and users who have their family added in their social media account should
 keep their privacy settings high in order to avoid any hacking, metro.co.uk reports.
Apart from mother’s maiden name, security question related to first school attended can also
 be used as a potential tool for hacking into one’s account.
The report said that revealing one’s birth date is equally sensitive to be put online and if
 someone wants to reveal, they shouldn’t mention the year.
Next comes announcing the web world about one’s trip out of town or display of expensive
 things which might be of interest to robbers or an active GPS.
