Cybercriminals may target Social Networking Sites, says McAfee

According to a latest report released by McAfee Inc, the Cybercriminals may target social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and FriendFeed in 2010. McAfee said that these social networking sites could become easy targets because of their vulnerability.

In the past, Facebook had witnessed serious hacking problems and same thing might happen again. Usually, people trust their friends and the links sent by them on such socialnetworking sites. That may work as an advantage for the Cybercriminals.

Currently, 350 million people across the globe use Facebook. McAfee and Symantec have cautioned the users about the shortened URLs that come in a different format and makes it difficult for the users to view the url without clicking on it.
