More about how Facebook/Myspace is the devil

A cursory blurb over on ZDNet has dubbed social networking sites as the next hacker frontier. To which i say, "Avast!" since I like piratical metaphors for hax0ring more than cowboy metaphors.

Okay, so Linkin, Myspace, and Facebook really aren't THAT bad...

...but they have the potential for badness, like a chainsaw or strong encryption.

See my interview about social networking on Dark Reading. It's not earth shattering 0days that make these sites a liability, but the casual trust that users invest in them. Oh, and the 0days -- which are sometimes there by design.
