What 1 Google Search Reveals

1 – where you’re visiting
2 – on which browser
3 – date and time

#3 reveals the most information.  Because 1 visit to 1 website, meh. But the patterns that emerge from watching someone’s traffic can reveal a lot.

Examples:

– multiple daily visits to the same Facebook page = the person is obsessed with someone

– repeat visits to Tumblrs featuring X type of content = the person has a fixation for X

– visits to websites detailing how to covertly do X = the person potentially has nefarious plans to execute X attack

* – that’s the cookie / tracking code that follows you around the internet, monitoring where you’re going

Then add in the footage from traffic cameras (everyone forgets those are always watching.)

That’s me in the lede photo, cornering a Subaru Legacy.

Sharing some Driving Tricks, Part 2

From how keyless entry fobs contain a key, to hiding the pink slip and never programming the navigation with your actual address under “home” (a thief then knows where it is, and where you’re not.)

Thanks this week to contributors Paul and Brian!

Use the passenger seat heater to keep your takeout warm. Prop the pizza box up on a can, now the box will sit flat on a seat that is not.
