According to new research, less than half of people in the UK set their social media to private. Yet, more than a third (36%) of people reported being concerned that images & information taken from their social media could be used against them. Chief Scientist & McAfee Fellow, Raj Samani commented: “Our research discovered that 60% of people disclose their location in some form when posting online, for example tagging the restaurant they are at on Instagram Stories. Even more concerning is that 15% have posted photos of the front of their house to social media. If this information gets into the wrong hands, it can be used to paint a detailed picture of someone and offer direct access into their lives.” |
