PSA: Do a Reverse Image search of your all your pictures!

PSA: Do a Reverse Image search of your all your pictures!

Couple of days ago I got a really nice message from a very pretty lady. Being the suspicious type, I suspected it to be a fake account, so I did a reverse image search (Learn How to do a Reverse Image search!!)

and lo and behold, not only was she real, but I was able to find her LinkedIn account and thus her full name, place of work, and where she went to college.

I warned the girl, she thanked me, then promptly deleted her account.

Then, out of curiosity, I did the same thing on my pictures. Turns out that because one of my pictures was also my gmail/google+ pictures, anyone could also get my full name, etc etc.

Just a PSA. Stay safe y’all.
