Be cautious about how much personal information you provide on social networking sites. Even basic personal information may lead to more private information for hackers or identity thieves.
By posting your birthday, where you live and work, or even your last name, you can leave a thread that hackers and scammers can follow.
Remember: the more information you post, the easier it may be for a hacker or someone else to use that information to steal your identity, access your data or commit other crimes such as stalking. If the information isn’t kept private, you are unprotected from social media scams.
