It's pretty scary to see how criminals find new opportunities to rob people. Even if it's just the internet, or especially because it's the internet, you shouldn't mention personal information that could be seen by strangers. Security should be our top priority, isn't it?

I know this is an old post but I only just stumbled upon it from reading ‘The Art of Human Hacking’ (Great book, btw)

Yes I agree, Twitter is one of the many tools burglars are using to break in to homes (along with all other social networks). Even things like Layar that show you an accurate location (through your view finder) of where people are tweeting from.. scary!

I am glad to see that GPS EXIF data has been stripped from most websites now, so people posting pictures on craiglists, or flickr etc. are a little more safe, but this threat is still present on the original target’s PC. If their home PC was compromised by a phishing attack (maybe targeted through a social network), an attacker could use these tools to determine location and habits.

It’s a scary time indeed where criminals can now harness the power of the digital world (and satellite/GPS services) to help them break in to places.
