Are you on Facebook?
Have you come across those posts that ask you questions like….
- Who was your favourite teacher?
- What was your first dog’s name?
- What was the first car you drove?
Do those questions sound familiar?
They Should Do!
They are often used as the Secret Question your bank or other websites ask to verify that you are who you say you are.
When you log into a site that you have set up the questions and answers on, they may ask you to give the answer to one of those questions.
So, why do you think people are posting those questions in Facebook?
Should you be suspicious?
