Dinar Recaps: Security Info For GPS & Mobile Phone Users

1/28/2012

 
Security Info For GPS & Mobile Phone Users
01/28/2012  

Subject: Important to read - makes sense to beware

 
GPS A couple of weeks ago a friend told me that friends she knew had 
their car broken into while they were at a football game. Their car was 
parked on the green which was adjacent to the football stadium and 
specially allotted to football fans. Things stolen from the car included 
a garage door remote control, some money and a GPS which had been 
prominently mounted on the dashboard. 
 
When the victims got home, they found that their house had been 
ransacked and just about everything worth anything had been stolen. 
 
The thieves had used the GPS to guide them to the house. They then 
used the garage remote control to open the garage door and gain 
entry to the house.

The thieves knew the owners were at the football 
game, they knew what time the game was scheduled to finish and so 
they knew how much time they had to clean out the house. It would 
appear that they had brought a truck to empty the house of its contents.

__ Something to consider if you have a GPS - don't put your home
address in it. Put a nearby address (like a store or gas station) so you
can still find your way home if you need to, but no one else would know
where you live if your GPS were stolen. 


MOBILE PHONES I never thought of this.......
This lady has now changed her habit of how she lists her names on 
her mobile phone after her handbag was stolen. Her handbag, which 
contained her cell phone, credit card, wallet... Etc...was stolen. 
 
20 minutes later when she called her hubby, from a pay phone telling 
him what had happened, hubby says 'I received your text asking 
about our Pin number and I've replied a little while ago
.' 
 
When they rushed down to the bank, the bank staff told them all the 
money was already withdrawn. The thief had actually used the stolen 
cell phone to text 'hubby' in the contact list and got hold of the pin
 
number. Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn all the money from their
 
bank
 account. 


Moral of the lesson: Do not disclose the relationship between you and the people inyour contact list. 

Avoid using names like Home, Honey, Hubby, Sweetheart, Dad, 
Mom, etc....
And very importantly, when sensitive info is being asked through texts, 
CONFIRM by calling back. 

Also, when you're being text by friends or family to meet them 
somewhere, be sure to call back to confirm that the message came 
from them. If you don't reach them, be very careful about going places 
to meet 'family and friends' who text you. 


*PLEASE PASS THIS ON * I never thought about the above! 
As of now, I no longer have 'home' listed on my cell phone
