"Highly personal information such as a full birth date can help
cyber thieves, and your street address, phone number and a status
that says that you're on vacation can be used by burglars.
Revealing your children's names and photos can help child
predators. Social networks can expose the users to abuse - whether
from harassment, scams, identity theft or malware infection. These
are all things that we are aware of deep down inside, but often
choose not to think about because of the it-won't-happen-to-me
conviction."
