Purpose – to analyze the peculiarities of users electronic data security and to propose recommendations that would reduce the risk of data loss and misuse. Design/methodology/approach – analysis and study of scientific literature, comparison, the main features complex generalization, induction methods. Finding – after analyzing the theoretical aspects of users electronic data protection features, there were introduced the main recommendations that would reduce the risk of data loss and misuse. Research limitations/implications – would be necessary to do a bigger research and apply more methods. Practical implications – this information can be used to enhance security measures to avoid incidents involving loss, alteration, and misuse of data. Originality/Value – cyber security is the most critical aspect nowadays of our technologically based lives. Neglected the protection of electronic data, highlighted the complex security components: poor (weak) passwords used, irresponsible sharing of private information on social networks with third parties.
