"Understand and protect your online privacy"

In social networks, people can increase their defenses against identification by adopting tight privacy controls on information in personal profiles.

Long gone are the days when people used to keep their valuables in specially-designed safes, looked by uniquely designed keys and their locations marked obscurely in a map. With time and evolution, the ways we protect our valuables have also evolved and become more complicated. As the technology made huge strides forward, so did the methods thieves incorporated to steal. They have become more cunning, and smarter than most. Today, it is not the cash, or the gold, that they are usually after. They target the numbers and characters in your passwords, which have replaced the traditional keys and boxes. In other words, they assume the very existence of yours and steal your identity!

Have you ever received a huge bill on your credit card, even though you know you've never made those purchases, nor have you ever let the card itself slip from your wallet? There have also been instances when thieves have hacked into a bank account and transferred millions to an off-shore account where no accommodating government has jurisdiction? Just a few days ago, some students from a school in Massachusetts discovered their photos being picked up from Facebook, doctored upon, and published on a pornographic website! Yes, I know it's quite a stimulant watching our desired movie actresses and other celebrities' photos doctored in compromising positions in such websites, but have we ever stopped and wondered how would we feel if something like that happen to us or our children?
