  6. Securing Social Networks, from Facebook to MySpace to LinkedIn

    Security researchers Shawn Moyer and Nathan Hamiel are well-known for poking holes in myths surrounding security on social networking sites. Their presentation Feb. 7 at ShmooCon 2009 in Washington, D.C., was no exception, as the two walked through examples of attacks and social engineering on sites such as MySpace and LinkedIn.

    Hamiel, senior security consultant with a company called Idea Integration, said that for starters social networking sites need better default privacy settings. When left to their own devices, the average user is probably not going to follow the most secure practices, he said. For example, many people don’t think about the security implications of allowing HTML in comments on MySpace, he explained. "Most people don’t know [for example to] disable HTML in comments; they don’t understand the risk of that," Hamiel said. "What I was finding on MySpace was a lot of bands and a lot of actors and actresses who have MySpace pages were disabling HTML comments, but it wasn’t because of any security threat. It was because of the fact that they didn’t like people putting huge images and messing up the layout of their MySpace page."
