DO I REALLY NEED TO BE WORRIED ABOUT RUSSIA READING MY FACEBOOK STATUS UPDATES?
Don't lose sleep over it, but it’s good to know who has your data and what they plan to do with it. Facebook‘s data breaches and the Cambridge Analytica scandal put 100 million users’ personal info in the wrong hands. They now have new security settings and lawsuits against apps scraping your info. (Like Rankwave, who promised to let you know what your “Influencer Score” is – and also mined your profile for data to sell to advertisers.) To lower your risk, don’t take Facebook quizzes no matter how harmless they seem, always turn on two-factor authentication and use an email rather than clicking “login using Facebook” on other sites.
