My normal posts are about sterling silver jewelry, the jewelry business, importing jewelry, customs regulations, etc. However, I also have over 3,200 connections on LinkedIn and am increasing my Twitter, Facebook and other social networking contacts.
Quite a long time ago, I quickly learned about phishing emails. But now there are new dangers of social networking sites. When I was on Facebook recently I clicked on a link and the page duplicated about once every second. I am not sure that this was necessarily the new Facebook virus, koobface worm or not.
But here’s a great article about how worms are spreading through social networking sites.
This link will take you to the New York Times article about the Facebook worm: http://tinyurl.com/5vbss8 or preview the url at: http://preview.tinyurl.com/5vbss8/ Also, look at facebooks security page to see more about this new phishing phehomena: http://www.facebook.com/security.
In any case, it’s a great idea to change your passwords on your social networking sites and run virus checks often.
