We keep saying not to befriend strangers on Facebook or to actively devulge your SSN. We keep saying to not put your information out there for all to see. Identity thieves don’t discriminate in age guys. This video is a prime example. There is now talk not of insurance premiums going up for avid users of social media sites. The risk of identity theft is significantly higher and thus the risk of having to covering the losses is higher for your insurance company. Don’t be negligent.
1. Never post your home address or other personal information such as your home phone number on social networking sites
2. Don’t follow people you don’t know on social networks and use block others from seeing your profile if you don’t know them
3. Turn off location-based services on Twitter and Facebook unless you absolutely need to use them
