Social networks have today made the job of social engineering all that more easier. Social engineering is the process by which individuals gather information on other individuals so as to use the data to try to crack into personal and private accounts.
It is common knowledge that information pertaining to DOB, school etc gets into people's passwords ( how are you expected to remember it otherwise). This information is also available on people's public profiles and now there are all too many of them spread across various networks and also searchable via the web.
Hence, from the security perspective it makes sense to refrain from publishing information that may perhaps be food for thought in terms of social engineering.
