1. Every time you create a social web account there is a risk of being
hacked, after all your account consists only of two words, a username and a
password. Anyone who knows this can enter your account and that`s why
social webs have developed a better security system so that users can recover
their account if it was hacked or forgotten.
2. Mainly, social webs just try to remeber you not to give your password to anyone.
Because giving your account information to someone else you trust doesn`t mean he won`t
tell it to anyone or that he won`t log in to make changes.
Unfortunatelly nowadays there are different ways to enter someone else`s
account. People have developed programs or different kinds of traps and jokes so that you
end giving your information thinking it is for another reason.
3. It`s not as easy as most people think to find a program which gives you
someone else`s password, but they do exist.
One of the most common ways to steal someone else`s information is by
cheating. On internet there are millions of traps and jokes, they make you believe
you won something and ask for your information so that you can claim your reward.
Also another way is just convincing people using any means. You can be
smart enough to ignore these people, but you never know how they will try to get
you, it may be difficult not to see where they come from in some situations.
4. Social Webs are prepared to these kinds of cases. They offer security for your
account and also ways to get your password back if it was stolen or forgotten.
Every day web`s security is increasing, we may be pleased that social webs such
as facebook or twitter are working for us. But unfortunately, there is nothing else they can
do, it depends on you to take advantage from these tools the webs can offer, but only if we
keep our details for ourselves.
We have ways to protect our accounts, they are provided by the social webs
to help you being safe. So it is our responsability as there is nothing else they can do.
There are hackers everywhere, they will exist as long as webs do. Take care of
what is yours.
