How much information are you revealing on Facebook, and how much is too much?

Did you know that more than half of social network users are putting themselves at risk of cybercrime by revealing too much personal data?

A recent survey conducted by the Consumer Reports National Research Center* illustrates how risky behavior on social networks can have serious consequences:

•		52% of adult users post information that makes them susceptible to cyber attacks
•		40% include their full birth date
•		26% post sensitive information about their children, including photos and names
•		Many users post their full address as well as updates about when they’re not home
•		9% of users have experienced some type of online abuse, such as identity theft or a malware infection, within the last year

Don’t let poor security practices affect you or your friends!

Remember that the internet is a public resource. Avoid putting anything online that you don't want the public to see or that you may want to retract.
