Hear hear, with technology pushing a lot more stuff online it's far too risky to give anything away. Next thing you know your credit card'll hijacked when that talking moose wanted to double check your identity (ok so it's not always as simple as falling for a fake ad in one go, but still). What I feel is that people don't seem to realise the impact of what would happen to them if someone gained control of their detail; with so many more sites using Facebook Connect and FB being an obvious target for phishers it's sometimes hard to imagine that they could do far more damage than expected. Personally I think the majority of the people need a reminder of how valuable their information really is: much more than you would think at first.
