You've been Hacked!

People constantly get on and check social networking sites.  One downfall to this is security.  On social networking sites there is always a possibility of false security.  This leaves any users vulnerable and unprotected.  Attacks can then be made by hacking your computer and  finding vital information.  If any sensitive information is leaked through social networking sites, people then have the ability to use identity theft.  Someone or the computer can also send viruses to your computer using this method.  For example, on Facebook lately peoples pages have viruses attached to them.  They send out links pretending to be that person in order to get you to follow and do what is asked.  This can cause many different problems with your computer.  It can even go as far as leaked information that is vital to your identity.  Always remember don't tell anyone your password because they can always cause trouble if they needed to. 

The Aftermath

Teens post all kinds of things on social networking sites.  They post pictures and feelings without even a second thought.  Little do they know all these post and pictures stay on the Internet forever even after deletion.  Nowadays employers and schools can check a persons online profile to see what they post.  Negative post can get you fired and even suspended from school.  Even if a picture was posted years before, there is now a way for people to recover it.  This can hurt people in the future because not everybody sensors what they put on social networking sites.  Employers now have the right to search and find evidence of any incriminating acts.  This can be a lost job opportunity for someone because of what they put on Facebook or Twitter at any point in time.  Social networking sites come back to haunt you when they are not used correctly.
