Keep it to yourself.

[TheWorldNewsOrg]

Scammers are all up in your businesses, so why make it easier for them to steal your personal information? That vacation photo you posted on Facebook or the snap of you posing in front of your home can pose a real privacy risk (as Kim Kardashian and Colts Long Snapper Matt Overton famously learned). Fortunately, the Consumer Federation of America created a new blog post with tips for protecting personal information, both in the online world and—you may still be familiar with this—the offline world. The article offers advice for the secure use of public Wi-Fi, as well as safe mobile app and social media use. It also gives real-world suggestions to help you keep thieves away from your mail and other sensitive hard copy documents and information.
