Facebook: Social Networking or Social Engineering Tools?

Have you ever feel sort of breath if you don’t update your status on Facebook?

Like this example below:

Saturday 25 April 2009 7:00 am “Huan Ying  is just awake. Looking for sumthing to eat”

Saturday 25 April 2009 7:50 am “Huan Ying  is starving. OMG no food has been prepared yet.  Sumiyeem…!!!! Where’s my food?”

Saturday 25 April 2009 8:90 am “Huan Ying is full now.. Going to watch E! Channel. What’s the hot gossip on?”

Saturday 25 April 2009 10:00 am “Huan Ying is feeling great!! My friends Timbo, Nikky, and Ling ling r gonna come here =)”

Can you imagine that? People are just putting their life on Facebook. There’s a huge dependency on Facebook nowadays. At first, it feels like a celebrity, but then…. are you ready for bad news?

If you’re a girl and you do the same thing like Huan Ying did, then you should be aware. People (stalker, fans, ex, your ex’s new partner, ex’s new partner’s friend, criminal, etc) who have bad intention towards you, can get you easily via Facebook. 

Another thing is, newbie hacker can use your information on Facebook to get your password to your e-mail or other important access account easily through password-guessing attempt. You might gonna say “I’m sure my friends listed on Facebook won’t do that. They love me”. Yeah, sure. No matter how much they love you, but when the passion of getting your password is dominant, they can get your password easily.

Not All You Read is Right

Sometimes people buy the book by its author. If the author is well-experienced enough or fully-certified, then we might wanna buy the book. However, not everything that she/he writes are 100% correct. We must not accept whatever it is written on the book. We may criticize it, because that’s gonna be the start of new theory development, new knowledge that other people might not discover but you might have had.
