In today's world information leaks has been a very difficult issue to be tackle or handled by website or socials that we give out informations to protect us, we have witnessed several hacks leading to informations people's information being used on the DarkWeb for activities that aren't speakable.

Hence protecting our information should be part of our top priorities not just here on the forum but including every where we find ourselves using the internet, especially our social media accounts. (This forum seems more secure with our informations but however if you commit a big crime that is way beyond the forum internal control the admins wouldn't mind giving your informations to the right authorities) however, we are advised to keep some information more secured by ourselves. If you care to know more about the forum privacy terms you can read them here: https://bitcointalk.org/privacy.php

Enhance your information protection through the following;
1. Be careful what you share online; like I have said above be careful of informations you give out online, some websites have access to you deep information as soon as you accept there terms and conditions (TAC) or terms of service (TOS), you can read the documents provided by any sites before signing up, I know we have the habit of skipping terms and conditions but it's very important we read them, a good percentage of people don't usually read them but I employ you to start reading them if your privacy conscious.

2. Adjust your privacy settings: After reading through this thread you can adjust how you set up your privacy settings, it helps in keeping scammers away and other stuffs. Not everyone should be able to see your informations. Like in this forum you can hide your email as an example of privacy settings adjustment.

3. What you post matters: in this forum and any other place whatever you're posting is very important to you and the world at large, you could implicate yourself or anyone with what you post, so be extremely careful what you post and things you don't post.

Here in Nigeria, some of our people do not value privacy so they post whatever they see, currently getting a VISA to a country like the US and some other countries, they use high techs like Artificial intelligence to look in to your socials and see the kind of things you post related to their countries and can use that to deny you visa.

5. Use secured medias or avoid them totally;
Some of us here use telegram without adjusting our settings, it's very bad because since we just crypto groups on telegram and other socials to get informations some times scammers join those groups hence messaging you or sending unsolicited DMs come from there, so you can chose who can send you messages and how, that helps a lot to secure you from unsolicited DMs.

This like a wake up call to all forum members, and to remind us one again that our privacy is our power and it most be well protected.

Many have lost billions in dollars because of carelessness, our personal information is what represents you, and most not be exposed to any person, Hackers in present time has grown so advanced that with just a piece of information about you, you are gone for life so I urge you all to be more careful when it concerns your personal information, mind every single step been made online not every link you click or every chat you respond to most of them are traps that with just a mere click you are gone, however when protecting your personal information becomes your first priority you rarely fall victim of any kind.
