Content: Not only could you fall victim to a cyberstalker or cyberbully, but you could also damage your career as Rio Tilton did. Tilton was just 19 years old when he ran for state representative of Seabrook but he was old enough to have enough old, embarrassing social media posts for his opponents to have a field day with. Posts showing him “ smoking what appeared to be marijuana ” and “eating from a sexually suggestive cake” were quickly brought to light. Tilton survived the ordeal and was officially sworn in in 2015 but admitted the incident taught him a valuable lesson – be careful what you post online. Again, there are some cybersecurity tools available that can give some level of protection, but you also have to protect yourself. A photo that makes you laugh at 2 am might make you cringe the next morning so think twice before posting. A good rule of thumb to use is, if you wouldn’t show your grandmother, don’t show your social media friends. Using one of the best VPNs can help protect you on social media by concealing your location and your real identity and stopping criminals from hacking your accounts. #3 Look at the Background
Many cash-strapped students are forced to share accommodation and finding the right person to share with can make the difference between great student life and student hell. Even if you get on like a house on fire over coffee, it doesn’t mean you have the same values when it comes to privacy or housework or paying the bills for that matter.
