Social media is a great tool for keeping up with friends or marketing your business, however it can also open you up to hacking and privacy interruptions! Here are some of our favorite, simple ways to keep your social media accounts safe:
1. 2FA - almost all social media now offers Two Factor Authentication. This enables a text, email, or special code to be sent to you in order to log into your account. You can set computers to be "remembered", but it is best practice to have it required to login each time.
2. Review Privacy Settings OFTEN - social media platforms are constantly changing, and the privacy settings with that! Review your privacy settings at least once per quarter, especially on personal or private accounts.
3. Use Secure WiFi Networks - especially when you are travelling or using public WiFi. When using public or hotel WiFi, use a VPN! There are many free ones out there, I like 1.1.1.1 , but you can also use a platform like Surfshark.
4. Use a Social Media Manager for Business Accounts - Social media managers closely monitor business accounts, and can alert you if anything seems amiss. They often also use scheduling platforms, which reduces the amount of login and hacking opportunities.
5. Practice Good Password Hygiene - Of course, basic password security still applies. Don’t reuse passwords across accounts. Make passwords long, complicated, and change them every 60-90 days. Use a password manager to store them securely. Enable password or fingerprint access on your devices for additional protection.
