Facebook Burglars?! You'd be surprised how they are finding...

So you're going on vacation, great!  You're telling everyone via Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, etc..  That is the easiest way for a Burglar to stalk and track you and your family.  

Here is the easiest way for a burglar to find you and stalk you.  They create a fake profile, request to be friends (if you're account it locked), you accept, they follow you, vacation date rolls around, you leave, they come over and hangout for a while.  Pretty easy these days.

Now that is the easiest way for a burglar to figure out where you are and where you'll be.  There are a few more social media tactics that burglars are using that involve a little more technical know how.  Here they go:

1. HIDDEN DATA IN THE PICTURES YOU TAKE
You might have poked around with your social media images and have come to find that Facebook and a few other sites automatically gather your location, time, and camera/device type and post it to the image you just took.  

Burglars don't want your cash - you'd be surprised what we found them...

The assumption is that burglars break into your homes to steal your money and jewelery, correct?  Not so fast, we discovered that almost 90% of "elite" burglars don't break in to get your cash, jewelry, and electronics - they're going for your personal information on your computers.

They break in, open up your computer, clone your entire hard drive, and then they are onto the next victim.  What do they do with this data?  Well, you can imagine what happens after they have your personal information.

In the state of California alone we've found 2,385 cases of this happening.  This statistic is just for the month of March in 2015.

So keep your doors open, but hide your computers.
