“My prediction for 2010 is that the increase in social networking activity, along with a user’s

Because Facebook regularly contacts its users through e-mail, and includes links in those e-mails to login pages, the format is ripe for phishers. It's easy to imitate Facebook e-mails and simply send users clicking to a look-a-like login page that steal passwords.

Privacy ParadoxPrivacy ParadoxAn OxymoronAn Oxymoron

Young people will freely give up personal information to join social networks on the Internet.

Afterwards, they are surprised when their parents read their journals.

"There's a big difference between publicly available data and publicized data.”

Dr. Dana Boyd, co-author a newly published book: Hanging Out, Messing Around, and Geeking Out: Kids Living and Learning with New Media.

They could accurately predict the full, nine-digit Social Security numbers for 8.5 percent of the people born in the United States between 1989 and 2003 — nearly five million individuals.

All they needed was birthdates and city or state of birth.

That helped them figure out the first three digits of each Social Security number, which the government had assigned by location. The remaining six digits were related to when the person applied for the number.

The researchers used projections about those applications as well as other public data, like the Social Security numbers of dead people, and then ran repeated cycles of statistical correlation and inference to partly re-engineer the government’s number-assignment system.

• "I look at it like driving a car," said Dan Nadir, the director of product management for Symantec. "Your risk of an accident is going to be greater the more you drive. If you're online more, you need to be more cautious, just like the more you're on the road, the more you should wear your seatbelt, have airbags and rotate your tires."

Variables In Study

• Sins of Commission: risky online activities, including online banking and online shopping.

• Sins of Omission: Also factored into the rankings was the number of free WiFi hotspots per capita. "WiFi is a big concern," acknowledged Nadir, "because it's something most people don't understand, and most don't know who is behind that hotspot, or if it's even legitimate.“
