Be Warned – Was Small and Private, Now Huge Data Mine

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007 (No comments yet)
Facebook is a Myspace-like social networking site that was originally designed to be accessible only be members of schools and universities (which was verified by .edu email addresses). It has recently opened to the general public probably in order to become more competitive against Myspace. In the latest news, Facebook is actively seeking buyers advertising the data they hold as being the “most valuable data in the history of the media world”. Now let’s look at the data they hold again: tons and tons of vital information on teenagers and young college students. It’s sick, but yeah, big business would salivate to have all that data in their clutches.

The Lesson

Remember that even if the site you signed up for promises to protect your data, that doesn’t mean it always will. Privacy policies can change without notice.Tags: ,

Security Software

Make sure you have a up-to-date Anti-Virus Program to protect you against bad websites or files.
Sometimes spyware gets in your computer and the anti-virus won't stop it. Use a spyware scanner to find and remove spyware and adware.
Use a software firewall to detect bad code on your computer when it tries to connect to the Internet.
Always keep your system up to date with security patches or none of the rest of your security software will matter.
Use an encryption tool to protect your important data when storing or transmitting it.
Switch to Firefox for your web browsing and you'll be better protected from Internet threats.

Anti-Virus

A virus can come from files, e-mails, web pages, or even devices you plug in (like thumbdrives or printers) and destroy your files or your computer once they get in. An anti-virus is software designed to detect and prevent that from happening.
