spear phishing, social engineering, spoofing, and web application attacks attempt to
steal a person's identity. Such attacks are often successful due to the assumption of
being in a trusting environment social networks create.
Security and privacy related to social networking sites are fundamentally behavioral
issues, not technology issues.
The more information a person posts, the more information becomes available for a
potential compromise by those with malicious intentions.
People who provide private, sensitive or confidential information about themselves
or other people, whether knowingly or unknowingly, pose a higher risk to
themselves and others.
