Social networking through Facebook has become a global trend today. We feel like sharing our feelings, pictures and latest updates with everyone through Facebook. However, it is not advisable to highlight each and every update or give the details of every moment through Facebook as sharing certain information on the social networking site can prove to be really risky for you. Here are the five details that you should never share on Facebook.
Giving password clues Never reveal your password details. We tend to answer the different security questions, answering our bank or brokerage firm our mom's maiden name, the name of our favorite song etc. Therefore, we end up getting the same details on the information page on our Facebook profile, making it easy for the criminals to easily crack our password information.
Revealing vacation plans or details Many foster the habit of boasting everyone that our life is so very happening and full of adventures. Sentence like countdown to Italy or vacation trip to Ha
waii, off to Goa, are often seen popping on the profile page. Sharing such details on Facebook can prove to be really dangerous as you are inviting the robbers at your place by informing them when you are out. The safest way to share your good times is to upload the pictures of your vacation trip after you come back.

ignore certain people in your life and don't want to keep in touch with them ever again, you should never reveal your phone number on Facebook as anyone can track your contact number from there easily. Also by revealing the home address in the Facebook you can fall into the risk of physical or identity theft.
Uploading photos or videos of your kid Everyone feels happy as well as excited at the birth of a newborn and feel like sharing their kid's pictures with the whole world .Videos and pictures of the
kids are supposed to be very personal, therefore, keeping them at home as a personal collection is the best advice for the ones who feel like updating every single detail of their kids life on a social media. By doing so, you are putting the safety of your kids at risk as these information can easily reach the wrong ones. Updates about your kid's whereabouts and location might cause you serious troubles.
Sharing financial details Never give out or share your personal financial details openly with friends through Facebook. If you haven't done proper privacy setting on your profile, a comment t
hat may seems safe on the Facebook wall can create a big hassle as identity thieves are around to collect such information's about your banking details where you have made your life investments.
