Let’s face it – we’re probably all addicted to social networking.
Whether you can walk away from it for a week or more or have to use it to tell us every minor part of your day from what you had for breakfast (and where) to what colour socks you’ve got on – then in some way, the very fact you are reading here is likely proof you use social media and possibly are addicted to it..
Well according to CSOonline “dozens of IT security professionals have pinpointed seven typical security mistakes people make” and they are:
- Over-sharing company activities.
- Mixing personal with professional .
- Engaging in Tweet (or Facebook/LinkedIn/Myspace) rage
- Believing he/she who dies with the most connections wins
- Password sloth
- Trigger finger (clicking everything, especially on Facebook)
- Endangering yourself and others

Are you guilty of any of these?
Do you feel any of these are an over-simplification?
yup,
I broke a law the other day when I let emotion get the better of me – and I mentioned in LinkedIn that I was looking for opportunities. I was spoken to.
Well, I was not the only one upset, but I was the only one to take my rage online.
Ouch!
Haha, this is a great post! I come close to losing it online with my facebook status updates when I feel that someone or something needs to be publicly humiliated for their wrong doings…but luckily I take a deep breath and hit the delete key or cancel the status update. In the end, they will get what is coming to them and it serves me no purpose engaging in a mud-slinging war.
That's a major problem with instant communications … I used to use certain forums on a regular basis and it was amazing to see folks kick off over the slightest perceived insult.
