As more and more individuals use social media for shopping,
socializing, and keeping in touch with friends and family, they can
expose themselves to a dangerous element: criminals. Unfortunately for
many homeowners and renters, one post or image too many on social media
can lead to a robbery, or worse.
In 2011, according to the Pew Research Center, 65 percent of adults using the Internet claim they turn to social networking sites, with nine percent having opted into the Facebook and Twitter functions that label their posts with a location. In the meantime, a report from British-based insurance firm Legal & General, notes that 38 percent of social media users post status information regarding vacation plans, while 33 percent go to social networking sites to report they are gone for a weekend.
