Travel expert Eunice warns against posting boarding passes on social media, citing significant cybersecurity risks. Sharing these documents can expose personal information such as names, email addresses, frequent traveler numbers, and flight details, potentially leading to identity theft or unauthorized alterations to travel plans.

The article emphasizes the need to safeguard this information from prying eyes, ensuring travelers remain vigilant.
