People who do have little or no time to maintain Facebook profiles, can do seven things to at least minimize the damage when their account gets hacked, a report has said.

• Firstly, change your name. If you tweak your name just a little, or use a nickname, it will be easier for you after the inevitable hack.

• Opening more than one account can also help. It violates Facebook's terms of service, but 80 million accounts already do it, says privacy expert John Sileo.

• Secondly, stop geotagging your photos. Geotagging includes the latitude and longitude where a picture was taken, the Huff Post reports.

• Thirdly, lie about your age as it is a key piece of information needed to steal your identity.

• The fourth and one of the most important rules is that do not store your credit card information on the site, the report said.

• According to the report, another important step is to 'have some boundaries'. Foe example when Facebook asks you where your photo was taken, keep it to yourself.

• Don't brag about new cars, especially if your photos show where you keep the keys in your kitchen, the report said.

• The sixth important step is to go through your timeline and remove posts that provide personally identifiable information.

• Lastly, deactivate your account. You can't get hacked if you don't have an account, the report said.

• And the most important 'bonus Pro Tip' according to the report is: 'Don't use your Facebook password anywhere else. That's making it way too easy for the bad guys.'
