A picture worth a 1000 barcodes?
ABC is running a piece on how theives are stealing barcode data from images that are posted on Social Media web sites [1]. We have covered information disclosure before on the ISC [2] [3] however this could serve as a reminder to be careful what you post! Most importanlty teach your kids. If you want to know more about Securing the Kids, please check out our sister site Securing the Human [4].
I teach my kids, once it's digital treat it like it's public. There is no such thing as a private email
