Just in case you’re a texting fool, Yahoo has put together a list of things you can do to protect your privacy while texting. I’m sure most of us don’t think of texts like we do emails - but text messages can be forwarded, and they are stored on your cell phone provider’s network. I’ll bet you didn’t know that text messages can be easily intercepted by anyone with a radio kit, and that it’s so easy to do, even Wal-Mart employees have figured it out!

Treat texting like email - don’t send your PIN, don’t send a credit card number, your social security number, or other personal details.
