When you use a service on the internet, various dangers such as leaking of personal information, identifying your address, and stalking are inseparable.

Lit.Link is operated by a Japanese company, TieUps Inc.

This company carries out the development and management of social media integration services and social media marketing services. 

Other than Lit.Link, they offer a community social networking service platform called “WeClip” where users can connect with others with the same interests and hobbies in a shared community. 

The service is considered safe because the information about the management company is clearly stated, and the company puts strong efforts into social networking services.

Its safeness was proved by Google’s security service

One of the reasons Lit.Link is safe is that it was approved by Google’s Safe Browsing technology as a safe website.

What is Google’s Safe Browsing technology? — It is a service built by the Google security team to identify suspicious websites and alert the website owner of the danger by investigating the whole website.

This service investigates over billions of Website URLs a day, and identifies dubious websites.

As shown in the picture above, they found nothing suspicious when I pasted the URL to Lit.Link into Google Safe Browsing technology. 

Not all of these results may be valid, but at least you can rest assured that the site is recognized by Google as legitimate.

Users include many entertainers and celebrities

5 points to use Lit.Link safely

Even using a safe service like Lit.Link can be dangerous depending on how you use it.

Here are five points to keep in mind when using link compilation services and social networking services.

▼Points to use Lit.Link safely▼
  • Do not use the same account ID and password you use on other websites
  • Do not publish links you have compiled unnecessarily
  • Do not use your real name
  • Avoid identification of personal information from social networking images
  • Install security software and applications

If you are a prospective Lit.Link user, please be aware of the points presented here.

1.Do not use the same account ID and password you use on other websites

When registering for social networking or link compilation services, do not use the same account ID and password you use on other websites. 

Although password registration is required when using online services, setting the same account ID and password each time increases the possibility of personal information leakage and account hijacking.

Also, if you keep the account IDs and passwords you set in an unlocked Excel, Notes, etc., there is a possibility that a third party will extract your login information.

When registering login information for online services, be sure to change your account ID and password each time to prevent information theft.

2.Do not publish links you have compiled unnecessarily

Make sure to specify the scope of publication for links compiled by link compilation services such as Lit.Link.

If you publish your links on various social networking services, your personal information may be leaked without you noticing it.

Although personal information will not be leaked just because you use Lit.Link, there is no guarantee that you will not be personally identified by looking at the social networking information from the links you have pasted.

If you want to use Lit.Link safely, you should only give the link to family and friends.

3.Do not use your real name

When using an online service, you must always follow the rule of not using your real name.

When you use Lit.Link for business, it is tempting to use your real name because you can use it as a portfolio.

However, with your real name and a little information, your home, school, place of employment, and other information can be identified.

If an individual is identified, it may lead to incidents such as "stalking" or "burglary," so please be very careful when using Lit.Link.

4.Avoid identification of personal information from social networking images

When using online services, be careful not to have your personal information identified from the images you post.

In recent years, there have been a number of cases in which personal information has been identified from images posted on social networking services.

This is due to the fact that the cameras of smartphones, which have become popular over the past few years, can take high-resolution pictures, making it possible to identify individuals from information such as the numbers of electric poles and buildings in the background of the pictures.

With Lit.Link's "Picture Link," you can post photos you have taken on your profile, but be sure to post ones that do not identify your personal information.

5.Install security software and applications

If you use online services and are afraid of account hijacking or viruses, we recommend installing security softwares or applications.

What is the security software? — a security software monitors for password protection and unauthorized logins. There are also security softwares that detect if the site you clicked on is safe.

There are many security softwares and applications available in Japan, and we will introduce some of the most popular security softwares.

  • Virus Buster Mobile
  • Avast Mobile Security
  • Norton 360 Mobile Security
  • For strong security, we recommend paid versions of security softwares and applications.

    Summary: Lit.Link itself is safe, but depends how you use it

    In this article, we introduced the safety of Lit.Link and the key points for safe use of Lit.Link.

    In conclusion, we found that the Lit.Link service itself is safe. However, the danger of online services increases depending on the user.

    When you click on the URL of others’ Lit.Link, be careful that there is no highly dangerous virus lurking in the URL, and use the service safely.
