Vacation Itinerary & Location Data
While you are excited to share pictures about your fun vacation to exotic locations, do not share information about your getaway beforehand on social media, such as how long you will be gone and where you are going. Not only do potential thieves know that you will be out of your home for that period of time, they could take advantage of your absence and burglarize your property. If you also use geography tagging for your posts to show your location or list the city where you live, burglars could use this information to target your home.
Bank Account Information
Posting any kind of financial information in a public space could perpetuate fraud. Although some people might use social media to post about their first paycheck from a new job in their excitement, they should not display images of their paycheck because it contains bank account information. With this information, the thieves were able to make fake checks and steal from businesses.
