More than 30 percent of Facebook & Twitter users have posted their holiday plans or if they’ll be away for weekend.
In support of the report, an experiment was conducted to see how many U.K. social media users would accept a “friend” invitation from a complete stranger. Of 100 “friend” or “follow” requests issued to strangers selected at random, 13 percent were accepted on Facebook and 92 percent on Twitter, without any checks. This reaction could result in a complete stranger potentially being able to learn about a person’s interests, location, and movements in and out of their home.
Gosh, its going to be busy season for burglars.
