BBB Advises Caution in Sharing Back-to-School Photos to Protect Personal Information
As the back-to-school season begins, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) in Chattanooga is advising parents to exercise caution when sharing photos of their children online. These photos, often featuring personal details such as names, grades, and schools, can inadvertently expose families to identity theft and phishing scams. The BBB highlights the risks associated with using personal information in passwords and security questions, noting that a significant percentage of Americans use easily guessable passwords. The organization recommends avoiding the inclusion of identifiable details in photos, reviewing privacy settings on social media, and practicing good cybersecurity habits.
