Advisory

Red Sassy Sprinkles? Tinsel Twinkletoes? You may have just given thieves answers to your online security questions!

"... And for added fun, include the 3 numbers on the back of your debit card!"

Antelope Valley! Let's stop sharing and playing these games. No one needs to know what your stripper name or reindeer name would be. Truly, we don't.

The only thing residents are doing by playing along and giving away your mom's maiden name, your birth city and your 1st grade teacher's name, is answer all the security questions needed to access most credit cards and online banking info, making it even easier for would be thieves to clear out your bank account or make fraudulent purchases on line.

So while Pink Spicy Cheetos and Naughty Jinglepants McFlurry may seem innocent enough, keep yourself and your social media friends safe by not playing along or sharing "games" like these. Let's keep your secured information and undergarment color where it needs to be: private.
