Web 2.0 Identity Theft
Web 2.0 technologies can be exploited for identity theft in a couple of different ways. First, there is a harvest model of collecting information that is voluntarily posted to sites, such as MySpace, Facebook and LinkedIn; and second, there is a Trojan-based model in which malware distributed through Web 2.0 sites is used to collect and transfer information to attackers. In this podcast, we discuss how these techniques work and what you can do to minimize the risk of losing information through them.
