2. Your Home Address
This one may seem like a bit of a no-brainer, however, it is worth mentioning as CBS news reported that as much as 40% of people have listed their home address on social media sites. Of that 40%, 65% did not block strangers from viewing their information with their privacy settings. Moreover, a shocking 60% also stated that the people on their friend lists were not people they necessarily trusted, but just acquaintances. According to a study conducted by the Ponemon Institute, social media site users are more at risk for identity theft than non-users. It is, therefore, important to give strangers as little information as possible on social media.
