Did you know scammers often use online quizzes and games to guess your passwords?

Authorities say, the answers are also answers to common challenge questions used by financial institutions and other companies as part of the security authentication designed to protect customers’ accounts from hackers.

While you are participating in these seemingly harmless personality quizzes, you may be helping a criminal piece together your password and security information to gain access to your accounts or your e-mail.

Authorities urge you to be smart with your personal information online, and don’t fill these out. They can easily lead to identity theft.
