It’s that time of year again where proud parents are taking pictures of their children kitted out in school uniform as they head off for the new term - but security experts have warned that posting these snaps online could pose a danger to families.
ADT Security Services said that parents may unintentionally be sharing personal information in the photos that could leave them vulnerable to attacks from burglars and online scammers. The security business added that while most parents are already careful not to show their child’s uniform logo in pictures shared online, there are several other steps they should take for extra protection.
ADT managing director Glenn Amato told the Liverpool Echo : “As schools across the country reopen following the summer holidays this September, many well-meaning parents will be uploading photos of their children on social media platforms, such as Facebook and Instagram to celebrate the milestone.
