Don’t Let Social Media Come Back to Haunt You• Nothing you put up on social media ever goes

away on its own.

• Your profiles probably have photos or status updates from years ago that you don't even remember posting.

• These old posts can put you at risk.

• You might have put something online that hurts your reputation or gives hackers a way to breach your privacy.

• You may “think” things are private, but they may not be.

Don’t Let Social Media Come Back to Haunt You

Consider:• Potential Employers• Coworkers• Landlords• Strangers• Future Prospects
