Facebook, Twitter users beware: Crooks are a mouse click away
If you’re on Facebook, Twitter or any other social networking site, you could be the next victim.
Experts say cybercrooks are lurking just a mouse click away on popular social networking sites.
That’s because more cyberthieves are targeting increasingly popular social networking sites that provide a gold mine of personal information, according to the FBI. Since 2006, nearly 3,200 account hijacking cases have been reported to the Internet Crime Complaint Center, a partnership between the FBI, the National White Collar Crime Center and the Bureau of Justice Assistance.
It starts with a friend updating his or her status or sending you a message with an innocent link or video. Maybe your friend is in distress abroad and needs some help.

The tech catastrophe you’re ignoring
Sometimes, it may shock you to learn, journalists misjudge the scale of threats.
I remember working on a Scottish newspaper in the mid-1990s, when the first minor outbreak of mad cow disease in humans, which happened in Scotland, hit the headlines. One day, an editor who wrote a lot of those headlines read a menu from the company cafeteria. “Thank goodness, they’re not feeding us beef,” he announced triumphantly, his health campaign won. Then, without a trace of irony: “Great. I’m just off for a cigarette.”
