Here’s a rule: the internet doesn’t need to know your cat’s name, your mother’s maiden name, or the street you grew up on. That’s security question gold. Scammers scroll your social media like a shopping list, so stop posting your vacation photos while you’re still at the airport. It’s a literal invitation to burgle your house.
A surprising stat: one in three identity theft victims had their info stolen through social media. Your funny dog video could be a hacker’s new best friend. Check your privacy settings, and treat your personal details like they’re the last slice of pizza—guard them fiercely.
