Twitter is another popular micro blogging site. People tend to post all kinds of personal
information as well as their opinions on various things. If a software architect working in a
reputed firm tweets ‘’Just found out a major bug in ‘Decipher 1.01’, Wonder who screwed up
’’, he is doing a major disservice to the firm that he works in. In some cases employees
have even been fired for having inadvertently leaked sensitive company information.

Social networking sites play a very important part in bringing people together and as
mentioned before their importance cannot be overstated. But there are many security risks in
social networking that needs to be dealt with. Make sure that your computer has
antivirus/malware tracker software. Do not download any applications or software unless you
feel they are absolutely necessary. Verify that they are from reputed sources.

Most importantly prevent these issues from happening. Do not post information that is
sensitive or status updates that could be used by unethical characters. As a well-informed
user you must be able to maintain security and also educate others on how to protect
themselves as well.
