*** Long Post Alert*** Be Careful Out Here in these Social Media Streets:
Three common practices that may open your data to a wider audience including those who plan to use it for fraud:

Commenting on a post: A random profile posts a meme showing that everyone believes the best movie ever was Footloose. Hundreds of people have posted that they agree or that they don’t. Those who don’t agree, list their favorite movie of all time. Sometimes a heated debate ensues. You choose to add your opinion or “like” someone’s comment. You have now shared your data with the creator of the post and countless others. One’s favorite movie is often a challenge question on accounts. You have shared a data point publicly.

Taking an online quiz: Your friend played a game and posted a picture from a third party that shows what she would look like if she were a cat. The funny picture shows a cat lounging on the sofa with a beer. You choose to go to the same site to see what it would say you look like. While it is “calculating” your answer, that third party could be accessing your social media profile and gathering PII. It could also be pulling your device ID, IP address and installing their app to your profile for future use. Playing that game could have opened you up to inadvertently sharing personal data.

Posting personal information into a “private” social media group: You are part of a large private group on social media for alumni of your university. It’s great to reconnect with some old friends and hear from others who went to your alma mater over the years. Someone finds their old student ID and posts a picture of it commenting on how young they look. They ask others to do the same. Many people join in the fun. Now any number of relative strangers have the treasure trove of images, approximate years of attendance, possibly maiden names and other data. These social media groups are favorites of lurking scammers hoping to collect data.
