Summary: Krebs on Security notes that nearly all U.S. states now have designated safe trading stations, mostly at local police departments, for in-person exchanges arranged through Craigslist, OfferUp and Facebook Marketplace. The site Craigslistkillers has catalogued news links for at least 132 murders linked to Craigslist transactions since 2015, many involving high-priced items like automobiles and consumer electronics.
What's compelling: At least 132 murders tied to Craigslist transactions since 2015 is the number to sit with when your employees arrange after-hours meetups to buy or sell laptops and phones from strangers they met online.
