Those cute quizzes are sucking up data about you – 04/11/18

 

With the fallout from Facebook’s poor choices continuing, this is a great time to remind everyone that big brother is always watching. As fun as those cute little quizzes are on social media, you could be giving hackers everything they need to impersonate you.

Quizzes that ask you the name of your first pet, what was the first car you drove and where you went to school are thinly disguised attempts at getting a hold of the answers to privacy questions.  Outside of privacy questions, even seemingly innocent information about your past can be used against you in the wrong hands.

When it comes to quizzes, just don’t. Your privacy is not worth a few moments of entertainment.
