Episode Description from the Publisher

How Someone Might Track You and How to Protect Yourself   Andy Murphy explains common ways people may track someone or their child and how to respond safely. Using a real case where an automotive technician found a GPS tracker on a woman's car, Andy breaks down how you could be tracked.    He covers physical vehicle tracking methods like magnetic GPS units, OBD-II plug-in trackers, hardwired devices, and built-in connected car services. Plus, he recommends inspection areas inside and outside a car.   He also discusses technology-enabled stalking through shared accounts, location-sharing apps, cloud access, family phone plans, and stalkerware, including warning signs and careful steps to secure email first, review trusted devices and recovery options, adjust sharing settings, and document evidence while prioritizing immediate safety and avoiding actions that could escalate risk.
