Facebook users do not realise their online details could be accessed years into the future.
If information like dates of birth and addresses are put together with details which might be used to create passwords, like a mother's maiden name, fraudsters might be able to access personal info like online bank accounts. Nearly two thirds post their date of birth, a quarter their job title and almost one in 10 give their home address!!
