Yeah, it's a shame that there are people whose sole purpose in life is to find ways to make other people miserable. I had friends have their home broken into when they posted pictures of themselves on vacation on FB. Someone knew they wouldn't be home. Why not take all that effort into planning the break-in...and just go get a damn job? I constantly hate that I'm asked to think like a deviant when testing systems...as it's a place in my headspace that I dislike, for sure. I just see the first-hand damage of the pathetic wastes of flesh that do these types of things whenever I attend a conference or tradeshow. Data skimmers that read your cell from yards away now. Don't even need to be right next to it. Card skimmers pulling your Visa info from feet away. Guys that pull fingerprints using nothing but scotch tape and a $25 dollar piece of Chinese equipment. Makes me a bit more careful than maybe I need to be, I guess.I guess you may be right. With that being said, anyone who puts a decal on their back window with a baseball, softball, volleyball, etc. and the kids first name and their jersey number along with what school they attend, could be putting their family at risk because now I know what school the kid goes to. From there, I can figure out their last name by looking at a team roster which will let me start to track them on social media and find out where they will be and when, and either use that information to abduct your child or find out when the family isn't going to be home and break into their house. I'm not saying this is you, but I find it funny how people get hung up on one aspect of possible identity theft or security, but then not think twice about other aspects like when they post pictures while they are out of town at a sporting event or on vacation or whatever and not think twice about it. My cousin posted something about 10 years ago about how she was feeling down so she was going to go on walk along a secluded lake by herself while enjoying a bottle of wine as a way to relax. My mom called her and told her she just told people with bad intentions that she was going to be alone, in a secluded area and possibly intoxicated. She hadn't even thought about it that way.
Where do you stop?
Oh, and not a 'Sticker on the car' kinda guy. I'm the kinda guy that would carefully remove the V off a CTS-V wagon if I could afford one...just 'cause I like the clean look.
