As a Network Creator, it’s extremely important that you protect your Ning account, and ask any Administrators you’ve appointed to do the same. This is not only crucial for the integrity of your social network and protection of your personal information, but that of your members as well. Because you have access to all of your members’ information through your Network Creator account, their information would be compromised as a result of your account being compromised. To protect your account:
- Create strong passwords, keep them secure and update them regularly.
- Be conscious of where you’re entering your password and why. Make sure it’s legitimate.
- Password protect your computer. If you share your computer with others, don’t save passwords in your browser.
- Sign out after each visit.
- Ensure that your operating system and browsers are up to date with the latest security patches.To protect your social network generally, only promote those who are trustworthy and responsible to Network Administrator status. Admins have very similar privileges to the Network Creator and it’s important that those with this power are people you know well. If your account or social network has been compromised, please contact us ASAP with as much information as possible, including details about exactly what happened and when.
