Travel – Boarding Passes

The seemingly innocent act of sharing a pic of your pass on social media could have serious repercussions.

According to KrebsonSecurity, websites exist that can read the barcode on your boarding pass and then hack your personal information, like your phone number, frequent flyer number, and info about all future flights you book through the same number.

That means they can then change your seat on your flight, cancel future flights, and even reset your account PIN entirely.
