The dangers of boarding pass photos

Many of you might be aware of this, but I came across this article explaining the major possible issues of posting a picture of a boarding pass online. It seems it's incredibly easy for a thief to gain access to your whole itinerary and personal details. SQ bookings, in fact, even reveal passport numbers! So, careful...

Lucky for me none of my boarding passes I've ever posted on Instagram (SQ and EK one) had my passport info, just my KF number and name. Of course, I would be careful and would blur them out if necessary. Now that SQ's boarding passes are white, it's a sign I should probably blur out some info, excluding my name (Which I will exclude on this forum). If you want to know my name, message me.
