The Cybersecurity Council (CSC) has warned the public against publishing or sharing sensitive or personal information on social media platforms, stressing that such practices can expose individuals to fraud and privacy breaches.

The Council said that personal data shared online can be exploited to design targeted scams and may result in violations of privacy in cyberspace. It urged users to exercise caution when posting information, noting that responsible online behaviour plays a critical role in reducing cyberattacks and fraudulent activities targeting individuals, companies and institutions.

According to the CSC, approximately 40 per cent of social media users have experienced privacy violations as a result of oversharing personal details about their lives and families. It cautioned that irresponsible sharing significantly increases the risk of theft, cyber fraud and identity theft.

The Council emphasised that even seemingly minor details shared publicly can be used in fraudulent schemes. Users were advised not to disclose home or workplace addresses, personal phone numbers, travel plans, or private family photographs.

Highlighting the importance of individual responsibility, the CSC stressed the need to safeguard personal data and secure social media accounts and mobile devices used for personal and professional purposes. It urged users to keep software updated, limit access to cameras, microphones and location services, create strong passwords, enable multi-factor authentication and adopt safe online practices.

The Council further advised the public to verify secure methods of sharing information, avoid unsecured platforms, monitor accounts regularly and exercise caution when responding to incoming messages, particularly as fraudsters increasingly employ advanced technologies to obtain financial and personal data.

Concluding its advisory, the CSC said cybersecurity remains a major challenge in the digital landscape and that preventive measures, responsible conduct and ongoing awareness are essential to addressing risks arising from rapid technological advancement.

The warning comes as part of the “Cyber Pulse” awareness campaign, launched by the Council for the second consecutive year on social media platforms.
