theft /THeft/
noun
- the action or crime of stealing.

Exciting, fun, and fabulous—those words describe the joys of an upcoming trip. Getting caught up in the whirlwind is easy and so is sharing a snapshot of your boarding pass online.
Cybercriminals love finding boarding passes and itineraries posted on public platforms like social media, and what they can do with that information is, well, criminal.
Nothing puts a damper on a vacation like finding your identity stolen and even worse, that you may have helped.
