Data privacy lawyer Cecilia Soria says it's important to be more mindful and less careless in giving away personal information, especially on social media
added to widespread social media use, the extent to which this right is still being respected is becoming harder to see.According to data privacy lawyer Cecilia Soria, the most important thing to remember if you want to protect your personal information is to not overshare information. You’ve got to be vigilant because the technological improvements in recent years have made it easy to obtain data without the consent of the owner.
If you do not want your data to be mined, make sure to take these applications off your approved list or reduce the type of data they are allowed to have.Aside from social media, emails are also a prime spot for hacking incidents. There have been many breaches in the past where emails have been compromised, increasing the risk of exposing personal information.
By maintaining an entirely empty – and not just the “unread” messages – inbox, a person lessens the chances of sensitive information being obtained by hackers with malicious intentions.“The more that you keep those messages inside your inbox, the more information the hackers will get,” Soria said.
