OK, so what can you do to reduce the possibility of having your social software hacked?
1. Know what software you have instalaled. Take care to keep your web browsers up-to-date. These days, many auto-update. Make sure Java is set to automatically update as well and follow through with update notifications from it (as it usually requires user interaction to update).
2. Check to see that you have the latest version; software and operating systems are dropped from support, so be sure you use a version that is currently being supported.
3. Check for new security patches and updates on a regular basis, the more frequent the better.
Whenever possible, use automatic update features, and make sure you turn it on!
