保護網絡隱私?教你十招吧!

導讀：隨着大量的日誌、照片被上傳到社交網站(social networking)，在掌握他人動態同時，自己的個人信息也悄無聲息地泄露出去，其中有不便透露的隱私，其中也有事關銀行賬號的密碼提示，總之網絡社交平臺並不安全，我們又要如何去保護個人隱私呢？

Facebook, Google, MySpace, Twitter, the proliferation of social networking means more personal information are accessible to strangers than ever before.

Facebook、谷歌、聚友網、Twitter，隨着社交網站的盛行，越來越多的個人信息開始開放給陌生人。

As attitudes to privacy are starting to change, here is a short list of some ways to protect your privacy online:

在人們對待隱私的態度逐漸發生變化的情況下，我們列出幾招教你保護自己的網上隱私：

1) personalised search engine optimisation - strange as it may seem, people are willing to pay for experts to alter position of their name in Google`s listings as it is typed. The method keeps the bad news private.

搜索引擎的個性優化——看上去有點奇怪吧，但仍然有人願意僱專家，幫助他們改變在谷歌搜索列表中自己名字顯示的位置，以保證負面信息的私密性。

2) change your name - stranger yet, Google`s chief executive, Eric Schmidt, has said youngsters might have to rename themselves to escape the shadow of their dodgy past. Many adults already use aliases for sites to avoid casual visitors.

改名——更奇怪了吧，谷歌的首席執行官埃裏克•施密特曾勸年輕人去改名，畢竟舊的名字記錄着他們不願被提及的過去，改名就能躲避這種不良影響。不少社交網站的成年用戶就使用化名以避免那些不速之客的造訪。

3) change your security/privacy settings – it offers you some genuine control over who sees what. Do you really want a prospective boss checking what you used to do at the weekends?

修改安全/隱私設置——設置完之後，你可以限制瀏覽自己頁面的人。你是否希望未來的老闆通過瀏覽頁面，看到你週末幹了什麼？

4) set strong passwords - too many people just put in their birthdate, pet`s name, or the name of the site. Thousands of hacking guides are specifically designed to enter Facebook via Google. The best advice remains: a long, interspersed combination of lower-case letters, capital letters and numbers.

設置可靠的密碼——許多人的密碼只是生日、寵物的名字或者網站的名字。然而，成千上萬專門設計的黑客軟件，能夠通過谷歌搜索進入Facebook帳戶。最佳建議是：一長串大小寫字母和數字的隨意組合。

5) untag yourself - social networking sites allow other people to "tag" photos of you but you have the opportunity to remove it. So pay attention when you are prompted to do such things.

解除自己的標籤——在社交網站上，別人可以從照片中圈出你，但同時你也可以移除選中的標籤。當你被圈的時候還是小心爲妙。

6) don`t include dates of birth/address - such things are almost invariably used as security questions for banks and credit card databases. Giving them up makes it easier to "clone" your cards and steal your money.

不要把生日/地址之類的信息作爲安全問題的答案——在設置銀行賬戶以及信用卡資料庫時，幾乎每個人都用這些信息。如果這類信息泄露的話，別人將更加容易地僞造出你的卡，竊取錢財。

7) don`t respond to dodgy emails - a bit of an old trick. If you get an unsolicited email from a business wanting to give you an incredible amount of money for a simple task, delete it. It`s a scam, door for electronic intruders.

不要回復陌生的電子郵件——老掉牙的把戲了。如果你莫名其妙地收到一封郵件，說做一件小事就可以賺大錢，把它刪了。這絕對是騙局，目的是給電子入侵者引路。

8) log out - if you`re in communal space without logging out properly, people can get onto the machine you`ve just vacated and dive into your profiles.

退出登錄——在公共場所的機器裏，沒有退出登錄的話，你的個人信息就會暴露給別人。

9) wi-fi - if you`ve got wi-fi at home, give it a good password. Otherwise it allows intruders in with few barriers to overcome.

無線網——如果家裏的電腦使用的是無線網，最好設置一個可靠的密碼，否則，黑客不費吹灰之力就能進入你的電腦。

10) don`t use Facebook - if you`re terrified that someone might learn your darkest secrets. The only certain way to avoid embarrassment is to avoid social networking sites altogether.

別再用facebook了——如果你害怕泄露自己不可告人的祕密，壓根不用社交網站就能避免這種尷尬，而且這是唯一保險的方法。
