Be careful what you post


I had a friend fill out the following survey and post it as a bulletin figuring it was just harmless fun. But if you look closely, you are giving out a lot of personal information including your name (first middle and last) names of family members, pets, your address and a list of your favorites. These are common things people use as passwords or password change alert questions. Survey's like this are dangerous because they give someone the info they need to snoop on you. If you see a friend post it please let them know to delete it for their safety.


YOUR ROCK STAR NAME: (first pet and current street name)
First pet may not be a big deal but the second part is part of your current address

YOUR "FLY Guy/Girl" NAME: (first initial of first name, first three letters of your middle name)
harmless

YOUR DETECTIVE NAME: (favorite color, favorite animal)
favorites, common things used when you make your password

YOUR SOAP OPERA NAME: (middle name, city where you were born):
your middle name and where you were born, common password alert questions/answer when you try to change your access to bank accounts

YOUR STAR WARS NAME: (the first 3 letters of your last name, first 2 letters of your first name, first 2 letters of mom's maiden)
harmless

SUPERHERO NAME: ("The", your favorite color, favorite drink)
more favorites, bad

NASCAR NAME: (the first name of both your grandfathers)
family member names

FUTURISTIC NAME: ( the name of your favorite perfume/cologne and the name of your favorite kind of shoes) 
more favorites

10.WITNESS PROTECTION NAME: (mother & father's middle name)
parents names 

big bad
