What is it?

Sharing content online involves posting or distributing information, photos, videos, or other digital media on platforms such as social media, blogs, or messaging apps.

How it can impact you
  • Privacy invasion: Oversharing personal details can lead to stalking or identity theft.
  • Reputation damage: Inappropriate or sensitive content can harm personal or professional reputations.
  • Cyberbullying: Shared content can be misused to harass or target individuals.
  • Data misuse: Hackers can extract sensitive information from shared files or posts.

Example: A viral social media post inadvertently revealed the poster’s home address, leading to unauthorized visits and threats.

What do you need to do to protect yourself?
  1. Limit the amount of personal information you share publicly online.
  2. Adjust privacy settings on social media to control who can view your posts.
  3. Think before you post: Ensure that content is appropriate and secure.
  4. Avoid sharing sensitive information, such as your address or financial details, online.
  5. Regularly review your online presence and delete outdated or risky content.
  6. Report abusive or inappropriate content if encountered online.
