Social Networking To Catch Criminals
Easy access to personal information on social networking sites is bringing criminals out in droves to take advantage. One Cheyenne, Indiana police officer decided to start his own business and use his internet savvy to fight back. He uses various fake profiles on every social networking site to track and catch criminals.
He uses the profiles to search for criminals and track down their movements based on what they are saying to their friends or family members on the sites. He said that the lack of security settings on people's social networking profiles is astounding. He has come across countless examples of questionable photos and information about illegal activity that have been posted on personal profiles. But even for those who attempt to lock up their profiles, there are always ways for someone to get around it. Every friend that you have on a social networking site is a hole into your profile.
