Answer:
Never use the same passwords that you use at work on a social networking site.
Try to avoid mentioning where you work; so that if you mention something you thought innocent (but that might be valuable information for hackers) they will not know who to target.
Do not log on to your social network page from public computers where someone might have installed a key logger and would later get access to your credentials. The same goes for unsecured WiFi networks.
Do not send confidential information through a social networking site even if someone who has legitimate access to that information asks you to.
Ensure your computer is up to date and has good antivirus protection; social networking sites are frequent targets of malware attacks.
Always be sceptical and wary. If someone asks to be friends on a social networking site and the profile appears to match a work mate, check personally with that person before accepting him as he could be an imposter. Also be sceptical of any offers or prizes you might have been told you won, they might actually be phishing attacks.
Beware of what links you click and what software you download and install. Do not trust links/software sent by your friends implicitly as they themselves might not be aware it includes malware or their account might have been compromised.
