Chances are you’re on at least one social media platform. It’s a great way to connect, but you need to connect and share mindfully. Tim Sadler helps us take a closer look at how to social safely.

You can overshare on social media and it can get risky quickly if you share personal data like your birthday, you COVID vaccine card, or even the names of your children. Bad actors (aka cybercriminals) look for this kind of information so they can exploit it and use it against you. This subject never loses importance because attackers never lose interest in you and what you say and what you do and the things they can do with it.
