Social Networking Tool for Scammers
A Black Hat presentation on social networking scams shows what can happen when you don't stake a claim in social networking sites.
Shawn Moyer and Nathan Hamiel gave a talk where they demonstrated how one could use someone else's identity, set up an account on a social networking site like LinkedIn and then lure in friends and colleagues of the victim. The "friend" can then lure those who trust him to download malicious apps.
Social networking applications start like most Internet services, with an implicit level of trust that can and will get exploited eventually.
