The latest viral internet trend came with a good intention, to celebrate graduating high school seniors on social media, but it comes with a new warning that highlights the potential risk of sharing sensitive personal information.

While it’s fun to see other’s posts, if you are uncomfortable participating, it is best to not do it.
