Delete your digital footprint

Digital footprint refers to the compilation of content on the Internet that can be associated with you and, thus, potentially available to anyone performing a search on you. The list of possible content visible online is endless (e.g., your family videos on YouTube, your comments on a news article or blog, vacation photos on Flickr, your posts on Facebook and Twitter).

While these bits of information may seem innocuous on an individual basis, when pieced together they create a composite profile that could be used by cyber criminals. The more information about you on the Internet, the more information that is accessible for social engineering and identity theft. Additionally, this content may be accessed at some point by an outside source doing an assessment of you, whether it be for college admissions or a new job. (Thomas D. Smith, 2012 August.
