Security questions to authenticate our identity may not be as secure as we believe. One common security question we’re often asked is to identify our father’s middle name. Hackers can easily find the answer to this by searching social media profiles or genealogy sites, and use it to steal our identity and hack into accounts. It’s better to choose a completely unrelated answer, or to use a different form of authentication.
