Sophos, one of the leaders in IT security, published their Security Threat Report today and cited social networks as the haven for scammers and cybercriminals this year after analysing the polls they conducted recently. Facebook was singled out to be the popular destination with 82% respondents felt it posed the biggest security risk.
The problem isn't just for home users but also a threat to businesses as people also log in at work or the company itself has their own page. Sophos Senior Technology Consultant, Graham Cluley questions if security is in the company's DNA. He also said that "Either Facebook simply doesn't "get" security and privacy. Or it just don't care".
The report also mentions that the United States continues to be the home of most infected webpages.
