This has been bugging me for a few days an just wanted to pretty much get it out of my head an see what people thought.

A few days ago I seen somebodies status sayin to add them on a certain social media site, with their real life name as part of their username. I thought this was a bit lax on their behalf and wondered how secure their social media was, within a few minutes I had found out more than enough info on them, covering most aspects of their life.

Given the things I seen I messaged said person about this (first time I had messaged them) as I felt a bit uneasy about how easy their life was exposed. I was basically told that they didnt care, which is fair enough!

My question is this, was I right or wrong to let them know about the potential issues sharing too much personal info to random strangers?

More than likely a false name , I had a friend years and years ago that was lax with his security , we tried telling him and he wouldn't listen , so we hacked him and left him a message , he wasn't happy but he soon changed his ways

It really wasnt, face pics visible on here and on social media, their username on here has no connection at all to their real name either!

I'm always careful that my private info isn't attached to anything here. Though have just been talking to a couple and she knows a hell of a lot about me. The perils of keeping it local. X

I'd always be weary about something like that. Catfish maybe. They might have been? trying to get other people's Facebook info when people added them.

I'm suspicions of people who are willing to openly share private information on sites like this and suspect they are less inclined to protect any private information I might share with them....

Which is one of the primary reason I see no value in publically displaying friend lists and verification .....
