The Griffin -team is looking for your ideas and comments. Join and show your support for Griffin. Social networkingFacebook, Myspace, Twitter and other programs are widely used even when you're at work. Email security has improved so hackers interests have moved towards the social networking sites. There is a possibility that someone at work is using one of the above mentioned programs and gets infected or lets someone in into the company's network by accident OR intentionally.. Quote from the attached PDF: NOTABLE INCIDENTS IN Q1 2009
In at least two incidents, false rumors were spread about Apple CEO, Steve Jobs’ health, causing Apple’s stock to plummet. In one of the incidents, an abused user contributed images to Wired.com, while in the other, someone broke into a live Mac Rumors feed to announce Job’s death. Lastly, multiple vulnerabilities have hit Twitter, causing false tweets to be sent by hundreds of famous people, and user contact information to leak, thus potentially exposing Twitter users to malware. These incidents have made Twitter acutely aware of its responsibility to address the security needs of its customer base. |

This, I have to say, is quite a good point here and definitively smells like something that could be worked into a story as well - what I like about this is that it's in the end so humane, everybody can understand it since it accompanies the most basic tools out there.
Very good one!
