One thing I've found handy is just to have little or no bio information on your accounts. If you absolutely must have bio info on your account, make all the information different from account to account.
This way, if a hacker gets your LinkedIn profile, the information there is different than your Facebook info, which is different than your Twitter info, which is different from your. .
Imagine a hacker with a handful of accounts and all the information is completely inconsistent. How does he decide which one is real and which one's are fake? It's essentially a dead end and will hopefully get them to move on to an easier target.
- jessedhillon 13y agoHave you been the target of hacking attempts? This sounds the opposite of handy, so I'd be interested to know how well it actually works. Not sure how well it would pay but I'd be interested in a service that attempts to steal your identity in this way, and then tells you what you can do to plug the vulnerabilities.
