Risk and safety issues:

On social networking sites you need to be careful what links you go on to or what requests you reply to. A prime example is Facebook you can find links on certain group pages that include viruses/malware, if you get an invite of a game that you have never heard of and none of your friends have been its probably got key loggers on it who if you are giving personal/valuable information someone on a different computer can see what you are typing.  You can avoid that though by being cautious about links you don’t recognize  invites to certain games/apps etc. These are a big risk because they can find out your pins and other important personal information. Social networking sites are a classic place for cyber bullying and it could happen to anyone so you need to know for positive who you add on social network sites it could be someone trying to start a fight or even a dodgy 50 year old pretending to be someone he’s/she’s not, the only way you can avoid this is to just double check that you know who your talking to and if you insist on talking to someone you don’t know don’t give personal information away.
