I hate to say this, but if you are not careful, you will get yourself into trouble with Social Media. McAfee Labs puts out a report each year which tries to forecast what is coming up in the way of trouble...and it ain't pretty. It concerns both the Internet and the cell phone. It concerns the hardware and the software. It concerns Facebook and Twitter.
I will take some of the sections about which you should inform yourself starting with this quote:
“Social media connections will
eventually replace email as the
primary vector for distributing
malicious code and links.”
Further the report says, "The threats landscape has changed considerably in the past year. McAfee Labs has seen marked increases in malware sophistication and targeting as well as a continued increase in the overall volume of daily malware threats. We have also begun to see some very significant changes in the types of threats that aim at Apple iPhones and other mobile devices. But there is good news, too, primarily a significant decrease in the daily amounts of email spam we combat. These ups and downs lead us to wonder how threats are evolving."
Please make sure your family is aware. Follow along. I will report more on this tomorrow.
