This is not a joke. People think these are harmless and fun but they are rooted with evil intentions.

Getting hacked is not always what you think. Each of those fun questions on FB contain information in the "secret" questions that you use to reset your password. Be mindful about the information you share publicly. You can also create an alternate set of answers to secret questions. That's right, you DON'T have to tell the truth on those questions, you only have to remember the answers. Just be sure to keep the answers somewhere you remember.
