The world wide web can be scary!

Yes, it is scary. Through work, I have always been very aware of cyber security, but recently, it hit home that many people simply do not get it. Last week I was trying to expand my family tree following the line of my great grandmother's brother. I've never met any of his descendants, but I found names, addresses, telephone numbers, photographs (including children) of people who are no closer to me than 3rd cousins, 3 to 5 times removed. Having been the target of identity theft off and on for about 15 years, I am very concerned about what personal information can be found with little effort. There isn't much you can do about public record information about you, but I certainly would not post photographs of children on the internet on unsecured sites.
