The reason that nobody cares about the security of
social networks is this:
In general, these are the same users who don't give a
hoot about spyware, trojans, malware and viruses and
ignore the incessant pleas from their PCs or are just
too damn lazy to update their definitions and
software. I have found this to be particularly true
with younger users who will click on anything and
whose parents/boss/IT guy bails them out months after
they click on something bad and their PC grinds to a
halt. If more users paid attention to these issues,
it would no longer BE an issue.
I don't know about you but I use Facebook and I stop
and think about it before I click on or accept
anything because I'm aware of the possible
implications.
