Be careful how much information you put in your online dating profile

If you use an online dating service, whether it be an app or a website, be wary of how much information you share publicly. Avoid including any personal information that can identify your residential address or place of employment. Likewise, be mindful of which details you include in your profile. Some details may help bad actors guess your password and compromise your information. Before physically meeting someone you’ve contacted online, be sure they are who they say they are. Catfishing isn’t just embarrassing, it can be a threat to your well-being.
