While almost half of Australian\u2019s have personal or intimate content on their smartphone, a staggering 80% of French and Mexicans are doing the same. Aussie\u2019s are also much less likely to send the information via text or email to a friend (51%) than those in the US (60%), Germany (75%) or India (86%).<\/li>\n<li>When armed with their partner\u2019s passwords, some Australians can\u2019t help but snoop and check out their partners\u2019 emails, bank accounts and social media pages. Almost half (47%) of people surveyed have admitted to checking their significant others\u2019 emails, while 57% regularly or sometimes check their bank accounts. Meanwhile, almost half (47%) log in to partner\u2019s social media pages. The survey also revealed that slightly more people (31%) track their ex-partner on Facebook than their current partner (21%).<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s not just revealing photos that people need to worry about. 10% of adults have had their personal content leaked to others without their permission. Sharing information at every turn increases the likelihood of leaked data and identity theft. Bank account numbers (67%), health insurance details (54%), Medicare numbers (67%), email accounts (58%), and passwords (48%) have all been shared with relationship partners.<\/li>\n<li>When personal data is leaked, about 17% of people hired an attorney and took legal actions to recover their information and have embarrassing photos removed from websites. Almost a quarter of those affected have broken into the emails of those who leaked the data to find proof and recover what was lost. The most popular form of fighting back was to confront the individual in person (56%) or online (30%).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some tips on mixing Love &amp; Technology while staying safe at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/loveandtech\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/loveandtech<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent survey from McAfee has revealed that almost 50 percent of Australians are happy to share online passwords with their partners&#8230;but this act of trust can quickly come undone and present itself as a threat to your privacy.
