Twitter gets attacked- how safe is social networking?
“And then, if this isn’t bad enough, Sophos, the IT security firm, released their Security Threat Report that states Facebook and Twitter has been seeing a rising number of attacks by cybercriminals. In the report released by Sophos, 57% of users reported they have been spammed and 36% have received malware through a social networking site. Roughly, that’s a 70% increase in malware and spam reports. Other sites referenced in the report include MySpace and LinkedIn.”
