Before a long time , the use of the Internet was not a threat directly to the security of the houses but clever thieves now know how to use social media in order to identify the owners of empty houses and they can steal it especially for travelers who publish their pictures during a tourist trip.
The deployment of family pictures which is found on the beach or in front of the Eiffel Tower on a social networking sites directly and while they are on the beach or in front of the tower, act stupid.
Says Stephanie Weiss of the German police that in this case, "it becomes very easy for thieves to know that no one in the house" at this time.
Personal Data
The lack of a user residence address of the social networking site on a page of personal data is not enough to ensure that the thief will not be up to the house, where the other available data, such as date of birth or resident in the city enough smart thief in order to reach an accommodation exact address without much trouble.
Therefore, the police in many countries around the world warn passengers the risk of sending private information journeys across the internet and social networking sites, as well as the mere presence of the elderly, for example, the mother alone in the house while the family out on a trip is not enough to deter thieves and maybe makes them are the same in the position of danger.
Privacy settings
In general, users of the means of social communication must specify privacy settings so they do not see their messages only friends only. This is available for many of the social networking applications such as Facebook and snapchat.
Weiss recommends that users ensure the identity of persons who Bivounam to their pages as friends. In the event that strangers send a friend request frequently you must completely ignore the request. Weiss says, "we must not accept the addition on your page requests, but who you know."
