How to change your privacy settings on Twitter

Twitter is a great place to get up-to-the-minute news, find thoughts posted live by public figures, and more. But the app reveals more than you may think. 

If you create a Twitter account, the default settings make your account public. If you'd like to make it more private, you'll need to protect your tweets so only the people you give permission to follow you are able to view them. If your account is public, know that hackers can craft an attack from your social media profile.

Follow the steps below to adjust your Twitter privacy settings today to make your account more secure.
