Internet Is Dangerous Place

[pumpjack]

its also a great place but .............

i just noticed a site on and this site had an option of ( change or manage your passwords ) i clicked on this and up popped all my info including passwords and sites ive signed up to over the past 5 years or so.

on my facebook someone was able to log in and comment on my photos, even though my password is very very unique , no way does anyone know it or could guess it ...no way !

on my whatsapp im getting sent weird and sometimes vile videos with vile sexual content.

it just takes you to be extra carefull in this day and age online !

not so much a question but just wanted to hear your views and what can be done to stop such abuses ?

But it's your browser setting storing the passwords for you, not the sites themselves storing all your other passwords x

[Canary42]

Are you sure your Facebook settings don't allow comments from others on your photos ?

[youngmafbog]

Hmm, firstly be wary of clicking on anything you are not sure about.

Only use sites you are comfortable are good

Use Avast or similar (free) which will alert you often to bad sites.

And NEVER say 'Yes, store password' if your browser asks you to.

Also use CCleaner (free option).

I live quite happily without Facebook, Instagram or any other social media. Join me.
Why is it de rigeur to be reporting yourself to the world all of the time? And is it really so important to learn the boring bits of so called, "friends?" Bin it all off. You will be happier.

Not de rigeur, Theland, but choice.

Substitute ' Facebook, Instagram or any other social media.' with God, religion and the bible.

We all have our crutch.

AB is social media, Theland

[Theland]

"AB is social media." Of course it is.
Biscuits are food, but,I don't gorge myself on sweet stuff and become obsessed with it.
Bin it all,off and be very very selective.
"Friends?" Ha Ha Ha!
Plastic friends.
The obsessive world of political,
" friendship?"

[Mamyalynne]

Bin it all off? Or just the bits Theland doesn't like?

[hc4361]

Social media can be fabulous, theland - it depends how you use it.
