A stranger's story at the coffee shop had me double-checking my social media settings.

I was getting coffee yesterday, and this guy was talking loudly about how his account got hacked. He said he shared too much personal info online. I mean, it left me wondering about my own habits. So I went home and tightened up my privacy settings. It's crazy how a random conversation can remind you to stay safe.

Turn off location tagging on your photos, that's how I got burned once. Also go through your friend lists and remove people you don't actually talk to. Setting up two-factor auth is a pain but it stops most hack attempts cold.

That location tag thing is scary lol, what actually happened when you got burned? Like did someone show up somewhere or was it more about someone knowing your routine? And how much of a pain was the cleanup after, like did you have to lock down all your other accounts too?
