WHO wants my location data??

from failblog

i don't know if it's for real, but i have difficulty imagining a better example of why people should be careful about sharing their location data. there are folks in this world you do know want to know your current location, ever.

sometimes crime REALLY doesn't pay

from failbook

if you get the urge to steal something and demand a ransom for it's return, you might want to reconsider. it could end every badly for you. (one might even argue that it should end very badly for you)

misplaced priorities

from college humor

you've got to wonder what this guy thinks that hard hat is actually protecting, because it certainly isn't his head. i suspect the ear protection isn't being used because it wont' even reach his ears from there. some things are more important than style, folks.

warning signs

from don't panic

you really shouldn't ignore warning signs or other indicators. they're there for your benefit and protection.

i hope neither of those kids has an 'accident'.

little red riding mood

made by facemoods, found on allfacebook.com and found thanks to @FSecure

apparently facemoods have a number of videos, but not all of them have to do with social networking security / privacy. the little red riding mood series of videos do appear to be about that topic, however.

scratch and win without the scratch

from failblog

i don't know which is funnier, that the scratch-off film missed the secret box entirely, or that someone still bothered to scratch it. it just goes to show you need to check the quality of your security efforts or your secrets may very well not actually be secret.

you can't trust anything anymore

from justacowboy's photobucket account (i hope he mean to share all that with the entire world)

you gotta admit, goslings are a pretty effective decoy. most people would be looking at the babies rather than the parent.

identity thief did what?

from failbook

normally you can't expect this kind of outcome when someone steals your identity. do not try leaving your own account in the hands of strangers. also, don't accidentally leave your account logged in as clearly other people like to make mischief at the expense of those who do. it would probably be safest to only check your facebook or other accounts from a computer you own/control.

perception of privacy

from picture is unrelated

in theory there actually is privacy in this washroom, but i still think i'd have difficulty using it because it very clearly makes it seem like there is no privacy. i guess the perception of privacy (or for that matter the perception of security) can be important after all.

passwords are like...

thanks to Tomasz Miklas for posting this


i can't decide if the password advice on this shirt is meant to compare passwords to underwear or to diapers. the picture kinda doesn't help. all good advice though.
