[QUOTE="Mandrake, post: 983024, member: 14653"] There has been a recent trend of targeting the cars of notebook carriers, perhaps we can share some advice here on how to avoid being targeted and keeping a low profile. 1. [b]Turn off your WiFi[/b] Some notebooks even when suspended or even off might still transmit a wifi signal. If there is an switch, turn it off or you use a plugin wireless card pull it out and keep it in the bag. Though you are not at risk of being hacked, this signal can still be detected. There are people here claiming that there are "notebook detector devices" used by the organised syndicates, these are nothing more than your common wifi detector keychains, so don't be fooled and don't be afraid, just be careful. 2. Don't use your notebook bag Thats the most obvious sign of a notebook computer. Instead get a softcase and put your notebook in a normal backpack. If your a businessperson and need to maintain an image, then buy an expensive briefcase. 3. Don't leave it in the car Same with any expensive item. If you must leave it, then consider having a boot safe installed. 4. Get insurance If its a personal notebook, then you might want to get insurance against theft, even the cheapest notebook is greater than RM1K 5. The low profile Anything else to add? [/QUOTE]
