Social networking sites like MySpace.com and Facebook.com encourage members to meet new people, share pictures and information, and interact with others in online communities.
However, while social networking sites present many opportunities for members to connect with others on both a personal and business level, they also expose users to people who may have bad intentions, including identity thieves and other cybercriminals.
Bernadette Auert, a 34-year-old administrative assistant, says that she would never open links from spam e-mails or respond to offers in pop-up windows. She uses smart passwords and takes every precaution to protect her financial information when shopping and banking online.
