Talk to most die-hard security pros -- the really good ones, and the ones who do nothing OTHER than cybersecurity for a living -- and their use of social networks is minimal (if not non-existent). Moreover, they put minimal -- if any -- true PII on those social networks. So their risk is already quite small.
