Buy An iPhone Online? Thieves Could Be Tracking Your Delivery To Steal It

Thieves appear to be getting more sophisticated as they look to steal items that have been left unattended on porches, as online shopping picks up for the holiday season. These porch pirates seem to be acquiring tracking information that allows them to time the theft for shortly after an item is delivered.

This problem has seemingly hit folks who have ordered iPhones from AT&T particularly hard, with the majority of the theft happening in states located in the Eastern part of the country, according to a report in CNET. This suggests the possibility that someone with access to delivery information is selling this data to thieves. However, there still hasn’t been a definitive root source found.
