Social networking websites like MySpace, Facebook, Twitter,
and Windows Live Spaces are services people can use to connect with others to
share information like photos, videos, and personal messages. As the popularity
of these social sites grows, so do the risks of using them. Hackers, spammers,
virus writers, identity thieves, and other criminals follow the traffic.
A common way that hackers break into financial or other
accounts is by clicking the "Forgot your password?" link on the
account login page. To break into your account, they search for the answers to
your security questions, such as your birthday, home town, high school class,
or mother's middle name. If the site allows, make up your own password
questions, and don't draw them from material anyone could find with a quick
search. Don't trust that a message is really from who it says it's from.
Hackers can break into accounts and send messages that look like they're from
your friends, but aren't.
