With kids going back to school this week or starting new schools please note this may appear to be an ordinary picture, but consider what you are inadvertently revealing to a predator…

- Your house number
- Your street name
- Your car and its registration
- The school your child attends
- Your child’s age
- Your name
- Your marital status

And that’s before you even add a status to the photo, which could include their names and further details.

Please refrain from sharing these types of images; prioritize your children's safety.

All this sensitive information can stem from a single picture.

Everyday family photos can be exploited by AI tools to produce illegal child abuse imagery.

Fortunately, there are steps you can take—many of which you may already be implementing—to safeguard your family and friends.
