DAY 7 of #CyberSecurityAwarenessMonth Limit the Information You Share on Social Platforms. Even when the privacy settings on your accounts are enabled still be cautions about what you share online. Ask yourself these personal questions:

[Stella @syberficial]

🤔 Will the post come back to hurt your later down the line?

😬 Will you be comfortable seeing that post 10 years down the line?

⚠️ Are you putting yourself at risk with this post? E.g. sharing your location when on vacation could leave you vulnerable to burglary.
