David Airey, a great <a href="http://www.davidairey.com/" rel="nofollow">blogger and graphic designer</a>, mentioned on his blog that he was going on vacation to India for a month. His domain was hijacked using a security flaw in Gmail (which has since been exposed and--I think--fixed). As his blog had built a significant readership and he received a lot of business through this medium, it was quite a crippling blow to lose his domain. His blissful trip exploring India with his girlfriend was arrested by an urgent attempt to get his domain back! You can <a href="http://www.davidairey.com/google-gmail-security-hijack/" rel="nofollow">read the whole story</a> on his blog. Just another thing to consider!

Never considered theft option via a post! I never reveal any pictures of me (so far) nor my address or house pictures on my blog, from a stalking point of view. But this tip certainly counts. I'm sure professional thieves got their hands on a laptop by now.
