G'day, Remember the MySpace page you crafted in 2005? Or the Tumblr blog from 2009? What about the Ticketmaster account you created to go to that concert four years ago?

They make us more vulnerable to criminals who want to steal the personal data stored there, from our passwords to our contact information or our credit-card numbers. A start-up that has created indoor maps navigating retail settings for the vision-impaired has landed Australia Post as a major new customer, as it rolls out a new technology that’s filmed on GoPros and updated every time a user opens their smartphone.
