Many people store their personal or work-related information and passwords on a computer, smartphone and tablet in a word doc, excel file or even a sticky note. Of course this is not safe at all.

You can imagine that information, such as your passwords, stored in an organized, clear overview is like winning the lottery for people with malicious intentions.

You will be surprised of what people with bad intentions can do with the information shared on your social media accounts.

Never, ever send account and password information over an open (unsecured) wireless connection. You are broadcasting to everyone within the radius of your wireless signal, which can be several hundred feet, all of your personal information and account information. They can use this to compromise your accounts (e.g. email, financial, system/application access), steal your identity, or commit fraud in your name.
