5 Things Not To Do in Facebook

There are millions of users using Facebook, for being one of the most popular social networking site. But there are five things you should know and never do, while you're connected at Facebook.
    Therefore, I have come up with this list of 5 things, which says Five Things You Should Not Do on Facebook and here goes the list:

1. Never Go for the Default Privacy Setting
    It is very important that you maintain some privacy at Facebook and never go for the default setting in the Privacy setting of the Facebook account. If your account is in the default setting, anyone can check out your profile, your personal information and your updates, so that anyone can easily see it. Therefore, be careful. First thing you got to do is to open your privacy setting and select Friends Only, doing which you can let your personal information and updates to be seen by your Facebook friends only.

2. Never Select being Found by Search Engines
     It is a different thing that your friends are getting connected to you by your facebook profile, but letting the whole world, being able to access you is dangerous. Getting yourself listed in search engine can allow anyone, to just check google or any search engine and search you, and get to know about you. So better be safe in facebook and do not list yourself in search engines for your Facebook account.

3. Do not Put your address and Phone number in Facebook
       If you want your friends to know where you're living and to share your phone number, you can simply send them as a Facebook message, but sharing it in your Facebook profile is very dangerous. So if you wanna be safe, do no put your phone number and address at your Facebook profile.

4. Do not Put Your Date of Birth on Facebook
       If you ever lost your password or have any security problems with an account you have, the first thing they are going to ask you is your date of birth. Therefore, letting your date of birth go public in your Facebook is not a good idea and so do not put your date of birth in your Facebook profile and if you do, simply remove it.

5. Never Share where you are going
     You maybe going for a nice trip or a vacation with your friends or family, but that doesn't mean you share that in your facebook status. There are many thieves and dangerous people who may look up to you, so better not share them. So be safe than sorry.

Privacy for Porn – Women Would Prefer Chocolates Than Them

I always thought Women are a bit smarter but, no, they proved wrong by a survey. Women are more likely to share their internet passwords and other details in exchange for chocolates.

Sharing Passwords for Chocolates?

Marketing is one viral disease (or so they say) and can make anyone run for the hills. According to a survey
conducted by Infosec, outside Liverpool Street Station, London, women were far more likely to give away their passwords than males. The survey was part of a social engineering exercise for security awareness.
About 45 per cent women shared their password in exchange for chocolate bars with fake market researchers, whereas only 10 per cent of men gave away their login details. Now if you ask for login details and passwords in exchange for something that’s tempting, then people tend to melt easily. A poll by Cadbury revealed that 52 percent of women preferred chocolate over sex.

While nearly 15 per cent males would give up chocolate for sex, (obviously). It’s just a password which I can
change over the next hour. Many may share this opinion, while a fraud worth a couple of millions could take place using their account details. That’s being way too imaginative, yet closer to being a possibility. It’s high time people start using password managers and even Web browsers have password management option. So, the
next time some one offers free chocolate or sex / porn, don’t get tempted.
