In your 8 years at Hive, have you heard of cases of identity theft, account theft or threats to the security of any member here at Hive?
I often think about the information I share in my posts and how much they can harm me, but as time goes by, the dam probably loosens and I show a little more than I should in a picture or text... but again, the question of whether anyone would benefit from stealing my identity...
The only thing that matters to me is that I carefully store all personal and financial data, dates, passwords, account numbers, keys...
People generally publish less private and personal information here than, say, on FB or Instagram, but then again, on FB and traditional social networks, information is mostly shared with acquaintances from life, so perhaps there is less chance that someone who would threaten privacy would get interesting information.
just publish your mobile number and address in the comments below and I'll call you or knock on your front door
Do you want me to leave you a social security number in addition to my phone number and address, so that we can identify each other more easily when you find me? 🤔
Yes, someone did it to me, represented themselves as me, and it's happened so many times to others. This partly why I have the line below in my profile.
Clearly I think it's best to keep things a little generic but at the same time showing personality (as you do) is important; one needs to find a balance.
As for the social security number, yeah publish it in a comments along with your bank account numbers, credit card number, pin and security number and any other information you think I might benefit from. Lol.
This may be the easy way.
But for me the strongest one is: "Send me BTC, I'll give you back two"
🤣
Lol...love it!
