A warning from McAfee:

[Someone] threatening to post your naked pics? Odds are, they'll do it, survey suggests

McAfee
By Helen A.S. Popkin

A shocking number of Americans are completely unaware that the sweetie they're sharing a risqué photo with today could be the vengeful ex of tomorrow … is what I, personally, extrapolated from McAfee's "Love, Relationships and Technology" study, released Monday.

According to this creepy pre-Valentine's McAfee report, one in 10 Americans have been threatened by an ex-partner to post their naughty pics on the Internet. What's more, 60 percent of those who did the threatening actually followed through on this ugly, and potentially devastating Internet thing called "revenge porn."

Something to think about if, according to this survey, you're among the 35 percent of Americans planning on sending something sexy to your beloved this Valentine's Day, via email, text or social media.
