What a weird comment. The type of low-end criminal who commits home burglaries aren't sophisticated enough to do that level of research.

- polotics 8mo agodo you have any evidence to back your claim? gangs employing teams of underage burglars assisted by risk averse adults with skills for entry and targeting are a thing. everyone has a mobile phone.
- teiferer 8mo agoWith the new crop of agentic coding tools, you can whip up such an app in a few hours for all burglar buddies to use.
- pm3003 8mo agoThey are. A related example is criminal gangs tageting gun owners in France after the dataleak at the sport shooting federation. This one has been well covered. There have been a few hundred targeted robberies (on old people mostly) and one or two deaths (predictably). In Western Europe there are also foreign burglar gangs that go on sprees for a few weeks. They're well organised but don't have time to do the stalking. They use publicly available data as much as they can.
- brnt 8mo agoLow-end criminals fish based on data leaks all the time. More data, especially cross-referencable data, will make this ever easier.
- gzread 8mo agoThey'd buy access from someone on the dark web for $5 a day.
- withinboredom 8mo agoI'd recommend reading 'Confessions of a Master Jewel Thief' -- normal dude, just decides to spend a career stealing shit for fun.
