Hmmmm, I am slow but late is better than never I guess. Is this frog a prince? Bought to you by the good people at the Office of the Privacy Commissioner (emphasis added),
Last year, IT security firm Sophos ran an experiment on Facebook to demonstrate just how willing people were to hand over their information to potential ID thieves. They created a fake profile page on Facebook for a small green plastic frog and sent out 200 friend requests to other Facebook users. Eighty-two of those people responded, and in doing so, divulged personal information like their email address, birthdate, workplace or school location, and phone number - all useful details for the aspiring identity thief.
I guess even a frog can teach us something. (smile) Including PLASTIC frog! (big smile)
