With mobile devices becoming more prominent in our day-to-day lives, as tech-savvy Africans, we are constantly accessing social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn. While these platforms are secure in their own right, they can essentially place your personal information and private life at risk.
On 16 March 2015, IT News Africa Online Editor, Darryl Linington, and Clare Matthes from Brainstorm Magazine discussed – on Gareth Cliff’s popular internet radio station “CliffCentral” – social media security and how your digital footprint can reveal your personal details.

To add to the discussion, Darryl Linington covers various tips and tricks on how you can lock down your social media account.
