According to Credant Technologies, some users are unwittingly advertising the location of their laptop to anyone with a cheap off-the-shelf handheld wireless signal detector.

Apparently one of the global hotspots for this kind of theft is Jamaica, but the crime could easily be committed anywhere else.

Something I wasn’t aware of (and is rather worrying in its own right) is that some notebook PCs can stay awake for up to 30 minutes even after the lid is shut. Quite why this is necessary (unless it’s deliberately set by the user) is a little unclear.

Anyway, the message is clear: turn your Wi-Fi off when you’re not using your laptop to reduce the risk of thieves locating and stealing it.

No offence meant to the guys over at Beastmoon.net, but I thought I’d recreate the article here with some nice images (no, not those kind of images) in place of the **** asterisks.

Here, you’ll see that word used 20 times — that’s TWENTY times. I can see why you wouldn’t want that word used so many times in a short article. particularly if you’re running Google ads.

This version should be safe. Anyway, you know what that word is, even if you choose to have the images turned off.
