Playbook 10
NextGen social exposure
The next generation lives online: geotagged posts, school and travel details, and oversharing that maps the family's movements, wealth, and relationships for attackers and doxxers.
The hard truth
A teenager's Instagram can leak more operational intelligence about the family than any breach of the office ever will.
The first hour
- 1
Identify what's exposed: locations, schedules, and identifying detail across accounts.
- 2
Lock down privacy settings and remove geotags and revealing posts.
- 3
Assess for any immediate safety concern tied to a location or pattern.
- 4
Check for impersonation or fake accounts using the family's name.
- 5
Have the conversation — calmly — about what to stop sharing.
Stop the next one
- Age-appropriate social-media hygiene norms for NextGen members.
- Privacy-first defaults: no geotagging, limited audiences, no real-time posting.
- Monitoring for impersonation and family-name misuse.
- Ongoing coaching rather than one-time lectures.
