Have you ever sent someone a social security number, checking account information or credit card number via text message? Or perhaps you’ve sent a nasty email, overly heartfelt 2 a.m. text message, or other – ahem – private information. Have you ever had to deal with the repercussions: identity theft, a very uncomfortable conversation with your coworker or a creepy message from your boyfriend’s roommate? If yes – you are not alone.
