摘要

More people are using Online Social Networks (OSNs) at home and in the workplace. To help us understand the risks associated with their use, this paper reviews notable literature regarding network security risks due to OSN usage. The literature states that there are many possible attacks that can be carried out using OSNs, including information gathering, phishing and JavaScript exploits. There are also a number of technical and non-technical methods available to manage these security risks, including awareness training and standard computer security measures such as the use of an antivirus program and firewall.
