According to a report cyber threats boosted by Facebook and Twitter success.
It suggests that cyber criminals will this year target social networking sites and third-party applications, use more complex Trojans and botnets to build and execute attacks, and take advantage of HTML 5 to create emerging threats.
According to report Facebook, Twitter, and third-party applications on these sites are rapidly changing the criminal toolkit, giving cyber criminals new technologies to work with and hot spots of activity that can be exploited. The report believes users will become more vulnerable to attacks that blindly distribute rogue apps across their networks, and cyber criminals will take advantage of friends trusting friends to get users to click on links they might otherwise treat cautiously. The use of abbreviated URLs on sites such as Twitter make it even easier for cyber criminals to mask and direct users to malicious Web sites.
The blending of social media for business and pleasure increases the potential for network security troubles, and people, not technology, can often be the source.
