Are military personnel vulnerable on social media sites?

Our vulnerability goes far past what your privacy settings on Facebook and other sites are. I guarantee you that anything put on any sort of Internet website can be immediately compromised. Any messages you send through FB Messenger or any other private internet based chat service can be read by getting through the simple security measures these companies put up. Further, one of the basic functions of an enemy electronic intelligence analyst is to chart connection paths. Facebook is your worse enemy here. In an effort to spare you from making a bunch of usernames and passwords, most apps and games have the option to link to a social media site and use that login to get into the game. That means they don't have to hack into Facebook. They can just get in through the peripheral login. If your phone is linked to Facebook, everything on your phone can be compromised. It's nothing to install a key-stroke recording program on the phone and hide the memory it's taking up as something that is a part of the normal processing programs that helps a smartphone run. If ypu have a banking app on that smart phone, things get easier for targeted because most people don't take out their checks all in cash when they get paid. This leaves a pattern of life study that can be built from your card swipes. If you have a joint account, this can also hint at your business partners' and loved ones' patterns of life also. On all social media sites, it is mandatory to have an email address on file. Sometimes you can hide it from public view, but not hackers. They can map to your electronic devices through email login geotags also. It makes no difference if it's a wifi connection or hardwire.

I've thought a lot about this in terms of even Rally Point.

LTC (Join to see) yes, Sir. We are always a target even if we are not on social media. We are a target sometimes just being a Westerner or an American. Heck we are a target just for marketing to buy items.
