Are You Putting Yourself In Online Danger? Stop It Now

Oversharing on social media

Do you really need to post a photo of your boarding pass when you go on holiday? Not only is that extremely contrived, the bar code on your pass can be used to gain access to your travel account. The general rule of thumb, according to cyber expert Chong Ee Jay, manager of TOUCH Cyber Wellness and member of the Media Literacy Council, is to simply avoid uploading anything containing sensitive or personal information. For instance, online shopping receipts that show your home address, or for the fellas, IPPT results that reveal your NRIC number.

Using the same password for every. Damn. Account.
