What you post on social media sites can harm you

Are you putting yourself in danger of identity theft by sharing too much info on social media?

A new Visa survey found shocking results about the info Americans are sharing without giving a second thought to how they might be inviting cybercriminals 

into their lives.

• Almost half of respondents disclose their birthday on social media.
• 29% share their phone number.
• 20% list their home address.
• 14% list their mother’s maiden name.
• 7% post their Social Security number on social media!

If you’re doing any of these things, take the info down right now! Any single piece of this info could help a crook steal your identity and wreak financial havoc in your life. And remember, be careful who you friend too!
