Hackers have become extremely efficient at committing identity theft because it is so lucrative for them. Alex Gonzalez, a self proclaimed hacker out of South Florida, once complained to his friends that he had to count over $300,000 in cash because his cash counting machine broke one day - poor guy! They also brag about the best places for Crowd Hacking so I've broken down a list of Top 10 Hacker Hotspots. Make sure your information is protected if you find yourself near any of these locations!
- Malls (especially during the holidays)
- Sporting Events/Tailgates
- Airports

- Coffee Houses

I saw you on Shark Tank tonight. What a great product! Will be ordering.
I’ll probably look different for that people that expend all day sitting at the Starbucks with their laptops! Imagine how many cards could be e-read from a location like that ?
I can imagine the malls around the holiday season and Black Friday would be crazy for this crime!
