During the last year in Ukraine was a lot of scandals associated with social networks. It can not pass, and one month, someone did not actively discuss any politician well, or his son, who in front of everyone drinks alcohol, does the incriminating photos or bragging to all my new car.

A huge number of various online exchanges working on hacking, where the sale of "users". To get to the compromised accounts dstup enough sometimes to pay sixty cents and a half hryvnia. A mechanism of this hack works quite simply. There are special programs-robots, which produce a "bombing" accounts with popular passwords, for example, qwerty. But those hackers who work on special orders, charge for their services in the region of a hundred - five thousand dollars. It all depends on how important the victim, as well as how difficult the work, that is, how many hours it would need to spend to carry out hacking.

The most ideal password that you can think of - it is a combination of letters and numbers. Naturally, with this letter should not only small, but also big.

And still the danger that they will succeed, is very high, if the user selected as a validation word nickname of your dog, or mother's name, perhaps its height or any other data that can be very easy to declassify.

Who monitors the network, and how to escape from it?

Shadowing from employersEmployers have long been began to develop social networks, using them as control over their employees. They can simply check the general information, as well as an interest in some kind of personal data, to check the passions and view photos, videos, dating and study your subscription. One of their main interest is that it is people who write about their work, about colleagues and superiors. If there is a take-away dirty linen in public, the staff member will certainly get a pencil and, in some cases, can also be right and fired. You should not even carry a virtual friendship with competitors because it has a negative impact on you, and will bring to some suspicion. "There was a case when the chief ordered us to carry out surveillance of his subordinates, due to the fact that the network he saw that the slave is in the list of friends competitor.

You should never discuss the social network that takes you to work, and concerning the identity of colleagues and managers.

Be sure to keep a control of all your photos on the social network, as well as what appears on the wall of your friends.

Banks and law enforcement agenciesBanks collect information about users of social network by using it to replenish its databases. And someone on the results of such monitoring may offer to become a client of the bank, and someone will get as a result of this denial of credit. In addition, it is through social networks foreign banks make otslezhku their risks. For example, if a client is writing a social network that his health has deteriorated or they have any problems at work, he may be required to repay the loan ahead of schedule. It is possible that very soon this technology will appear in our banks and other financial institutions. Including actively using social networks and collectors, if a person has some problems with the repayment of the loan. They are also used for the search of the debtor. They begin to calculate the friends and relatives, produce pressure through them. In addition to this and can track the location of a person if he indicates his photos.

"It has been classified as a manufacture and distribution of images that are pornographic. And such cases, there is a lot, "- commented on the situation in Makeyevka police.

Recommendations gives Alexander TimoshenkoPerhaps you remember how Facebook has confirmed the fact that provides all the data about their users special services. Therefore we can not disseminate information that can be accepted as a violation of the law. You will definitely need to think about how you need to activate a function that will allow others to see your location.

Fraudsters in social networksVery popular at the moment is a divorce phone when a call is made to relatives of a teenager or even an adult allegedly by the police, after which these families report that their child has been detained, and in his pocket was drugs. Solve the question can be very simple, if you pay a certain sum of money. And all of this is based on the collection of data from social networks. It was there that take the names of teenagers and other information. For example, the fact that he plans to go to a nightclub. Those rascals who have more experience in this matter, can even do this go to the night club, to make the theft of the phone to make a call to parents is with the number of children. It will look even more convincing. In particular, if you know the number, you can simply clone the SIM card. In Kiev, there was a situation when in one of social networks to collect money for meeting classmates. And after the gathering ended, the attacker disappeared.

"The fact that my former boss was a spread with photos of resorts and boasted of the new machines. With all that he could for months not to pay people salaries. And after the photo appeared next, where he was under a palm tree, I just slammed the door, "she told the girl. Facebook is the cause of one in five of divorce in the United States and the United Kingdom. People see to it that someone is not there layknul on to put a comment or so friended. You do not need a lot of serious reasons to family scandal broke. And hacking passwords to pages, and almost a partner - it's almost normal, but at the same time being part of domestic violence. It's like your snooping second half, simply by the social network.
