"DOWNTOWN AND BROOKLYN NAVY YARD - PHONE THEFTS are spiking at Brooklyn venues, with fans reporting missing devices after shows at Brooklyn Paramount in Downtown and Brooklyn Storehouse in Brooklyn Navy Yard."
"London logged over 80,000 stolen phones in 2024. "Cities around the world face a surge in mobile phone theft," the Metropolitan Police said in a press statement."
"Many of these phones are then resold in China, where stolen phones can go for as high as $5,000. "Our devices are wide open," Robert Siciliano, a cybersecurity expert, explained to The Guardian, "You can access anything." This makes the stolen phones more valuable as China has strict regulations on social media and other applications."
Phone thefts at Brooklyn Paramount and Brooklyn Storehouse in the Navy Yard have spiked, with concertgoers reporting missing devices after shows. London recorded over 80,000 stolen phones in 2024, reflecting a global increase in mobile phone theft. Many stolen devices are resold in China, where prices can reach $5,000 and demand is driven by strict app and social media regulations. Devices with weak security are readily accessible once stolen, increasing their value and the risk of data exposure. Live Nation Entertainment has the matter under investigation with the New York Police Department.
