Seriously
consider using pen names instead of your real name, wherever
possible. Remember, when you publish your birth date, address and
name anywhere, it makes you an easy target for identity thieves.
Don't make it easy for them and please, never, ever publish your
social security number online.
"When
somebody has the keys to your business and personal kingdom, that
gives them all sorts of powerful information," according to
Cloudmark senior researcher Mary Landesman. "They might be
able to use it for years. This kind of information is ripe for
extortion and blackmail,” Ms. Landesman says.
