💨 Abstract

Parents often share birth announcements on social media, including their child's full name and date of birth, a practice known as 'sharenting.' However, this can be dangerous as it provides crucial data for identity theft. Barclays warns that such posts could lead to fraudulent activities, affecting the child's future financial prospects. Experts advise parents to be cautious about what they share online, as personal information can be misused.
