Social Networking are Hackers playgrounds?

|

A few posts back I was mentioning that I wanting to put a Page for "Connect with Sherry". Later in the afternoon I found this article and I don't know if you have read it or not. Have you?

It's said that online social networking are hackers playgrounds. Well I like to hear from you. What do you think about it. I am sure you are one of the user of online social networking like Facebook or Myspace or others.

Here's something new which I don't know about there's fake postings on comment boards asking you to update software. I read some where in blogger blogs that WP2.6 also have been hacked? I mean like they make some changes in your blog but never make changes of your post. Don't ask me which blog I don't remembered them...

Is online social networking safe? Okay, here's the article where you can read more.

well I think its not hackers, but lamers, and script kiddies. It is true that social networking is hackers playgrounds. But low, but not high level hacker. It just a place for beginner hacker to show off their skills :P

That sounds more of a spammer to me? Real hackers and big time ones crack banks anyway... ANy web site or something that has a 'real time' or 'on-line' application in a network may be hacked.

I do think that It is only a matter of decency and fear of law that stop real good hackers from doing so. What do you think Sher?
