The first suggestion concerns social media: «Do not allow anyone to log in with your credentialsnever share your password, use a different one for each social network and change them at least every 3 months”.
The second points to cell phones: «Provide for its initialization independently. The activation profiles must be registered in your name, set up directly by you, and protected with “robust” passwords, freely chosen and kept confidential because there are software that allow you to control the data and have access to your online interactions. Set a passcode and keep it confidential, activate facial recognition or fingerprint. Reject or disable automatic tracking».
Finally, the computer: «After accessing your email, your online messaging, your social profiles from a PC or another device shared with others, log out and disconnect the device from your profiles. Do not store credentials automatically. Pay attention to which technology tools are connected to your social or messaging accounts: If you don’t know some of these, it’s possible that someone is reading your communications without permission.”
