Young internet users in Ireland are increasingly exposed to risks because of their tendency to disclose personal information online, a new study says.

The EU Kids Online survey, which has been published to mark Safer Internet Day, indicates that the number of Irish youngsters giving out their names or e-mail addresses rose from 28 per cent in 2006 to 79 per cent in 2007.
