A former work colleague has been lecturing both here and in the US on information security for last 20 years. He is a visiting professor at the Massachusetts institute of technology find at the University of Reading which is a leading cyber security  establishment. Those little snippets of information and their gathering is called breadcrumbing where lowly paid individuals are retained to gather all those snippets together and form a profile which is then sold for a pittance on the dark web. Often, seemingly innocent , questions are used together this information. Beware of questions like what was number one the year you were born? All the favourite your secret agent name is your mother's maiden name in the name of your first pet, these are often used as part of a security question. Be very careful.
