Sharing information online can be fun, especially on social media where you want to keep your friends and family updated. Just be careful how much you’re sharing and with who.
Unfortunately, the more you post the easier it may be for a cyber criminal to use that information to steal your identity or hack your accounts.
It is a good idea to limit the amount of personal information available on your profile, particularly when it comes to details that can be used for social engineering purposes. A cyber criminal could use this info to create spoof accounts that can be used to trick your friends and family and cause them to become victims themselves. You should also be cautious about adding people that you don’t know in real life as these may just be cyber criminals looking to trick you! Stay safe out there!
