(SALT LAKE COUNTY)—Utahns looking to hit the road for the 4th of July holiday or who are planning other vacations might want to think twice about writing it online. While it’s tempting to place tales of exploits on Facebook or Twitter, Sandy Police Sergeant Justin Chapman exhorts people to be cautious with what they post. Chapman said people often advertise their homes are empty online when they go on vacations or adventures of any kind. Chapman also said some people use security setting when posting on Facebook or Twitter so they can exclude certain people from reading their posts. He also said there is no guarantee information will remain private with hackers and other fraud experts lurking around online.
