Sharing vacation pics should be fun. These days, with smart phones and apps for just about everything, it’s easy to share your vacation and let all of your Facebook and Instagram friends enjoy it right along with you. But too much sharing via social media can set you up for a home invasion robbery or worse.
In a society where people often overshare on social media, it’s important to be careful what, how much, and when you share information that could make you a target for criminals. One high-profile example: Shortly after Kim Kardashian flaunted a $4.49 million diamond ring on Instagram, thieves tracked her down in her Paris apartment. As this family is a great example of oversharing on social media, it’s also been said that her younger sister, Kylie Jenner, was warned by her security team to stop posting her GPS coordinates on Snapchat because it let pretty much anyone know exactly where she was in real time.
