7 Things Users Shouldn’t Do While Working From Home (or anywhere for that matter)
- Stay away from Facebook quizzes.
- Do not tell the world 10 things about you on social media, since some of those may be answers to your forgot my password challenge questions.
- Do not post things online that may give clues about your passwords (e.g., pet names). If your password is the name of your pet, you should probably change that anyway.
- Do not post photos of your home workstation.
- Do not click on questionable links, especially those prompted by urgency or fear.
- Be aware of your social media settings and which posts are or may become publicly accessible by anyone.
- Be aware of new friend requests from people you are already friends with but actually came from someone else that just copied their profile info.
