AVG Technologies and the Chief Marketing Officers Council released the results of a new conducted study that basically says, taht people are concerned about the security of social networking sites but do little about it.
“ The study also reported that most of the 86 percent of the sample who said they use social-networking sites “fail to perform the following basic security measures on a regular basis,” including changing passwords (64 percent infrequently or never), adjusting privacy settings (57 percent infrequently or never) or “informing their social network administrator on security issues.”
Some recomendations that AVG has are:
1. Don’t accept pop-ups or prompts for software unless you’re armed with Web scanner software such as AVG’s free LinkScanner
2. Don’t post or submit confidential personal data
3. Change password at least once per month
4. Don’t let others access their social networks on your computer
5. Don’t auto save your password, and clear your history at least weekly
6. Don’t accept friend requests or request friends that you don’t know
