Dont Let your Personal Information:

Most of us will have te habit of creating a profile either its personal or professional in the available websites. We do so that we may get a public identity and may get to know well to many friends. But there is a great risk in doing so warns the experts. According to a transcript in the hindu, These are posing a way for the intruders to get thourough knowledge of you. For example let us consider two sites and the danger posed by it. We are will be well aware of the sites ORKUT and LINKED IN . These are the leading sites in offering personal and professional profile through their social networking concept. You might be thinking that the ORKUT reveals only the personal part like your studies, mail address and nothing else. But there is a part in it called the Communities. I bet mostly 99% of orkut users will be a member of the community representing our company, college or so. This is enough for them. This gives them the hint that U work for the XYZ firm. Then they check the community for the XYZ firm in LINKED IN. Undoubtedly U will be a member there too and tey will create a profile posing as an employee of XYZ firm and they will join your network. You will also think him as your colleague and u will authorise him. but he can easily get to know well about u, ur habits, Ur income and more. Then he can easily nab u at the place u frequent(Gained from ORKUT) and demand for the salary on the salary day(thanks to Linked in). So If you are in these networks, it does not mean that you should discontinue using them. U can use them while some care need to be taken. Just make sure that the Important information are not shared. Use different id for different sites. Best is use gmail because it will prevent spamming. U can find how it prevents in the next post I am posting. Wishing you all safe and secure profile over the web.
