I feel like home safes are going to start selling out again. This is because securities firms have been targeted by hacking and cyberattacks, increasing people’s unease about keeping money in financial institutions. Around 2015–2016, home safes also saw a surge in sales due to the introduction of the My Number system and negative interest rates, with some retailers even selling out of stock. But if your parents or other family members are considering buying one, please advise them to be cautious. The following actions all carry potential risks of information leakage: – Purchasing online – Buying in-store without registering as a member – Hiring a delivery service due to the safe’s weight – Talking about buying a safe with neighbors Even if you don’t store large amounts of cash at home, just having a safe may lead others to assume you keep cash or valuables there.
