Actually I try to do so. But we got to pay attention because a lot of internet sites have specific regulations that we must read carefully before agree.
I don't think internet is a safe place. Because even if we are "with our eyes open", there's always someone who's ready to break systems and opperate in an inappropriate way with our data.
The best advice was to chane passwords and make them difficult to discover.

Very important topic. But also many applications collect people's private info which is unacceptable. We're never safe with that attitude.
