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.
