Why is facebook becoming a target?

Hi Alex,

I agree to your concern but partially. Let's look at the social media sites' way. To provide freedom to share your status, make new friends and approach zillions of strangers at the same time securing your credentials is a pretty big sum for any software. As far as the target is concerned, the mal-practitioners on the Internet target whatever is popular and trending. If it were Orkut yesterday, today it's Facebook and tomorrow it would be something else.

Regulations on Internet is quite difficult because it's spread worldwide. Nevertheless, systems that help tracking culprit has become far advanced as compared to yesteryear but it's still not up to the mark. As I said in my answer on Yahoo! earlier, if you are too concerned about your personal information, DON'T BE ONLINE! Simple as that. Not only credentials from Facebook are vulnerable to get traced and used but every file you download on your PC has some or the other tracking tool!
