Stranger Danger or a Hacked Mac

      Joan Goodchild was on CBS news in May of 2010. She is the senior editor of CSO (Chief Security Officer) Online. According to her where not as safe as we thought we where. Our information is being spread through third parties simply because after privacy updates or redesign the settings are set to less safe default settings that we forget to change. Some facebook adds may contain malware. While on top of that your friends unknowingly make you vulnerable to these things. If thats not enouph to worry about scammers are making fake profiles. One of the problems is that facebook is the most popular social websites in the world and security wholes are found every day.
     I do believe Joan Goodchild is right in all of her points. I see facebook get hacked actuallly most commonly is hacked facebookers posting absurd pictures of random nudity or videos that wern't really posted by them. This is kind of scary in the fact that makes us look wierd. So i could safely say the big bad wolf has found a way in around our firewall brick house. But I won't stop using it, either will the other millions of people.
