Stranger Danger (Risk of Social Sites)


Hey Everybody, 

We all know there are many risk associated with misuse information if it falls into the wrong hands. There have been many cases of identity theft due to information being given out. There have also been cases where people get humiliated due to others photo shopping pictures and videos. This type of risk can destroy people and their families along with their place of employment.
When it comes to social media and privacy, I fear being in a situation where my information is misused. For this reason, I have started putting security settings on my accounts. I was recently told about a face book application that can match up your image with your online profile in seconds. This was a scary article to read but it really opened my eyes up to the dangers of social media.
