[QUOTE="poopgiggle, post: 1354834, member: 6406"] This is one of those computer security topics that can have real-world impact for people so I thought I'd post about it. [url]http://www.social-engineer.org/social-engineering/cyber-stalking-and-smart-phones-making-social-engineering-easier/[/url] From the article: Since this is a gun forum, and lots of us are taking smartphone pictures of valuable firearms, people need to know about this and protect themselves accordingly. It's easy to say "well breaking into my house is a good way to get a HOT LEAD INJECTION," but a smart thief is going to wait until there's no one home. I was screwing around with this and [i]I was able to find the home address of at least one member on here[/i] by looking at pictures of a gun they had uploaded. I'm not posting who it was, but I'm PMing them to give them a heads up. [/QUOTE]
