Data that should not be shared on the internet Security warning: the seven data that “under no circumstances” should be shared on the internet

Internet is part of our lives. Daily operations are carried out, either via the mobile, tablet or our computer, which require a record that requires the user Share certain personal information. And be careful, because in many cases too much sensitive information is often published.

So much that the National CyberSecurity Institute (Incibe) It has repeated and has called citizens as extreme caution and zeal with personal data when navigating on the internet.

In particular, the agency warns about seven types of data that “under no circumstances should not share on the internet, because the risk for our privacy and security is very high.”

Although it is common to use our mobile and our e -mail to register on web pages, if we share them freely online, we expose ourselves as a victim of spam, e -mails and all kinds of cyberbrains based on social engineering.

Sharing our real location or home address is very dangerous. Reveals where you are at a specific time (and where you are not). We do not know the intentions behind when they ask us to know where we live, which places we often visit or when we are not at home.

We all die from showing our son (or another family member) at the world, especially in social networks. However, we do not know where these images can end or who can have access to it. The most indicated is to cover your face in one way or another.

The fact of uploading photos on the networks has an impact on our digital identity and you must do this very carefully. Publishing compromising photos of intimate or sexual character can pose a major threat to our safety and have very serious consequences, such as sexuants or cyberbullying.

Our DNI, De Rijkaart, an employment contract or the bank details are very sensitive data. If we reveal one of them, we expose ourselves, for example, to a imitation of identity and the use of our data fraudulently.

Incibe explains that it is customary to use the internet to express and share criticism and complaints. A remark published on the networks can, however, ensure that people feel insulted or even attacked, and that our comments may not be taken as well.

In the same way as we cannot take public photos from third parties without their permission, we cannot make a private conversation, nor in the form of chat intake, in a sound file or in a different size. It is not something that we have to share on the internet, especially if they contain personal data or information that can be considered as revelation of secrets, and that the other person would rather not spread.
