Of hackers as they try to find ways of spreading their wares, stealing the identities of unsuspecting people and cashing in on other people’s hard earned cash. The many budding social sites that are popping out all over the place, deemed as revolutionary startups are falling one by one to hackers who are after their sites, or their members who are running into the millions ripe fruits for the picking of their wrongdoing.
Facebook, Bebo, Multiply, MySpace and many more have seen the damage these malware can cause but they have yet to come up with a better way to deal with them. They evolve and infect thousands of computers day by day as unsuspecting users click on risky links, enter dangerous ones and more, all avoiding the repetitive warnings all over the place that says otherwise. The social net may have become more personal but safer, is something we still have to see.
