Honestly this is good advice tho. Wait until you’ve returned to post all of your vacation pics.
Can also post pictures of you on vacation when you’re not. See who shows up the house.
This is brilliant
She’s young enough to have been born in the social media era. My parents didn’t have to worry about posting because the internet wasn’t a thing back then.
My mom still taught me this without using socials herself, the concept of not letting potentially malicious people know you’re not home (by e.g. leaving your lights on) goes back further than the internet.
My dad had a friend whose apartment would frequently be broken into. So he started leaving the TV on 24/7, and he never had a break-in again while he lived there.
We had lights on timers. Neighbors took in the mail. Alarm system over copper phone wire. Low income 80s household.
God I’m old
Hm…
What if I post about going on vacation but what I’m really doing is setting up an elaborate system of Home Alone style traps? 🤔
Believe it or not, jail.
Thanks Obama.
It is a decent cyber security trick.
My mom use to say watch out putting a loved one in the obituaries because people will rob your house knowing you’ll be gone that morning.
still relevant
You guys got to go on holidays?
Well besides the fact that AOL didn’t work that way, I’ve never been “on holiday” in my life.
Osint’s a bitch
Mine still do, I still post.
This is really good advice. Your mom sounds smart.
