With the economy at an all time low, even criminals are going high-tech in their attempts to rob you of your hard-earned money. Posting your resume online haphazardly is one of the targets of such criminals for they contain information that can be used in identity theft. Information regarding you should be considered confidential except for some general ones such as your name and employment history. Even your address and financial information can be leeched from servers by hackers so don’t just send them out anywhere.
Delete old ones from job search sites so you don’t leave yourself open to attack from cyber-criminals. If you still have a job, manage your credit cards and other financial information as if your life depends on it for the definition of “you” can be assumed by somebody else with all the information you have on the net.
