Make Your Social Account Profile PrivateHacking has been one of the behaviors that some people are doing in some of the social sites. There are people that do have bad intentions, they can never rest till they see what they want to do to a specific person is accomplished. Scammers, fraudsters and hackers are the people that will log on to our account without you knowing and post in some abusive information in your profile. They can either write a comment or tag a photo that is inappropriate. One can avoid such people from logging into their accounts if they use passwords that no one can ever guess, or never tell their passwords to anyone. You can never know who can hack your account it could be your close friend that you have never suspected. You can as well make your profile private so that no one views it except you. If you are using MySpace account then you can make your MySpace profile private. When you hear someone asking, can I view a private myspace profile? Then you should be aware that such a person is a threat to you because they might use the tricks on you if you tell them.

Its always advised to people and especially girls not to put their personal pictures on social networking sites like orkut, Hi5, Facebook etc as they may be misused by someone. One shocking incident occurred last month with one of my best friends. She uploaded her pictures on Face-book just to share with her friends and family. Everything was alright till she finds a profile having an explicit picture with her face on it. She was shocked to see that someone has edited her picture and uploaded to his profile. She immediately called me as she could only trust me in such a case. I asked her to calm down and asked her to remove all her personal pictures from her profile first. I was quite sure that someone known person did that. then I called facebook support phone number revealing them the complete incident. They asked for an ID proof and email describing everything. Finally, we found that the profile was created from the same city we lived in. The profile was blocked within 48 hours after all the verification process was over. Since that day my friend never uploaded he personal pictures on social networking sites.
