for us to the whole world. On the

• Social Network Services have made
communication between people not only
convenient, but across the world speedily. It
provides a wide platform for people to make
new friends and express their feelings. People
can know how their friends are going on
immediately even though far from their
locations. They think the SNSs are trustworthy
so they put so much private information on the
social network sites. According to the report of
Criminal Use of Social Media, before 2012,
there were 750 million users on Facebook,
500 million users on YouTube, and 200 million
users on Twitter.

Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, each of these social networking sites owns thousands
of millions of users’ personal information. According to Hong, “Owning such a large
user information database attacks the criminals and leads to a sharp increase of
computer crime attacks on SNS.” Crimes, including social networking infrastructure
attacks, malware attack, Phishing attacks, cyber bulling and identify theft can be
performed to obtain sensitive personal information.

• It is true that information was publicly available, but it shows the disadvantages of
privacy in social networking sites. For many people it is annoying to set their profile
privacy, so they face such kind of privacy information theft risk. Maybe people can
be given some other suggestions like changing the profile privacy, not accepting
friendship request from strangers, or not opening external suspicious links, etc.
Does this way work? What we have known is that there is not real privacy on the
internet; you can only make sure that some people won’t see your information.
However, for some hackers, or computer whiz, getting your information is easy. The
best way to protect ourselves is not to put too much private information on the
internet, and then there is no way to get that.

The simplest and most effective way to protect your
information is to avoid putting so much information on
your own blogs or the SNS. People may just want to show
what happened to them or what they saw today, they never
know how serious if the information falls into the wrong
hands. Comparing showing off your colorful life and
encountering cybercrime through SNS, we all know our life
and property safety is more important.
Protect ourselves
in SNS
Thinking before posting
something, choosing SNS carefully, and being
selective when accepting friend requirements,
etc.

Social Network sites should be a platform
to communicate with others. It shouldn’t
have been like this. The government
should lay down some effective laws to
protect privacy information. Other than
that, the best way to protect ourselves is
not putting too much private information
on SNS.
To cybercrime, let us say:
Protect ourselves
