Protection in Social Media
• Two important kinds of protection:
• Identity
• Reputation
• Failure to protect your account may lead to negative consequences
• Not unlike losing control of your financial information…

What’s in Your Profile?
• All Social Media

• Strong password:
• At least 8 characters
• At least one capital letter
• At least one small letter
• At least one number
• At least one special character !@#$5^&*()
• Challenge Questions:
• Do NOT use *real* answers!
• Make up answers to the questions and keep your answers where you have access to them.
• Real answers tell more information about you if hackers get into your account.

Problems: Social Media and the Workplace
John Doe1 hour ago | Tempe, AZ
I just don’t think I can do this anymore. I mean, it’s like everyone at work
hates me and treats me like crap every day. Just because I am a little
different, they make fun of me and it makes me so depressed that I want to
just come home and end it all sometimes. Other times I’m so mad that I feel
like the next time it happens I want to just go postal and teach them all a
lesson about bullying. I mean, WTH, so I have a little handicap. Lots of
people do. That’s no reason to make fun of me. I do my work just like
everybody else does. This really sucks. Something has to change or it’s
going to be over.
You are a supervisor, and you are on John’s “Friends List.”You read this. See any problems for you?
