Twitter can increase crime for its users

A report this morning has been released with a warning to all users of Twitter.

The micro blogging networking website is a great way to keep in touch with friends, follow your favourite stars or receive regular updates from companies you use. By updating your status you can tweet to all your followers informing them instantly of your feelings, location or findings on the web.

However a warning has been released following a burglary to a house after tweets had informed the criminals that the house was empty. It was an ideal opportunity for the burglars to casually walk into the house take what they want and happily stroll away.

Many of the thousands of tweets everyday are location descriptive: “I am walking through the park“, “I am stuck in a queue” each of these indicating to all your followers your whereabouts. Twitter users can follow any tweet feed unless the users profile is set to private.

This is certainly some advice that has got me thinking, and if a warning has been issued regarding security issues then 4Ps Marketing is certainly listening. Our clients are important and it’s our job to make sure we inform them of all security warnings that may affect them in any way. At 4Ps Marketing we actively use Twitter to increase our clients traffic and search results. If you would like to find out more please visit the contact us page
