Jason found out the hard way that he...

Sir John Sawers; Social Media Privacy and Personal Security

Privacy issues and identity theft in social media are a growing concern. Most people who post their personal information about themselves do not recognize the potential consequences of their actions, or maybe they simply don’t care if their entire life is an open book.

Identity Thieves Gather Data From Social Networks
