be hacked and used by hacker to spread malware through trust abuse
o Do not click on links that are too good to be trueo Do not click on links that seem to not mesh with what
friends usually posto Do not pass sensitive information to friends, especially
over Facebook!
• Untrusted Third Party Applicationso Facebook has an open platform, unlike Apple. Applications
do not have to pass a review process.o Bad actors can promise free stuff in exchange for
"permissions" Can include access to wide array of personal
information or ability to publish to your wal Similar to hacked accounts, apps can publish whatever
they choose on your behalf, including links to malware or other malicious software

from you. Facebook has "per post privacy" Have their password to periodically see what they are
truly posting.o Require your child to "friend" you. This will remind them to
keep content appropriate

untrusted, or professional friendships • Make sure information is visible to friends only
o Default privacy settings on Facebook are much broader than "friends only"
• Make sure information is not publicly searchableo Periodically search google for your child, and make
adjustments as necessary • Make sure friends can not publish damaging information
related to your profile, such as tagged photos• Again, require your child to "friend" you. This will remind
them to keep content appropriate.
