• The first thing is that do not share any kind of nation on social media. Such as mobile number, Aadhaar number, home address, etc. One should also avoid sharing family photos on social media platforms. This information shared by you can be used to harass you.
• If you share a photo or video on social media, keep its settings private or limited. That is to say, keep the privacy of images, videos, friend lists, etc., on social media only with me, not public. For this, you can go to privacy settings and change the settings.
• Before accepting anyone's friend request, get complete information about them. Check out his profile and take a look at his timeline. If you don't know someone, don't accept his friend request.
• Trusting any online friendship can land you in big trouble because there is a vast difference between real friendship and virtual friendship. If someone asks you for money through social media, do not send money at any cost. If you are asked for money from the ID of a known friend or family member, call that friend or member first. Talk to him. Do not transfer money directly.
• Cyber criminals are more active than you on social media and are creating fake profiles. They are waiting for your one mistake. If you get a friend request from a friend who is already on your list and you know him, then be alert because a cyber-criminal has created the second profile.
• If, for some reason, you become a victim of cybercrime, do not panic. Talk to family members or a close friend. If there is any problem, report it to the police. You can also complain by visiting the National Cyber Crime website.
