REPORT: One in Five Facebook Users Encounter Malware
One in five Facebook users encounters malware, says a report by security vendor BitDefender.
If anything says Facebook has grown up, it’s security statistics like the latest eye opener from Bit Defender: One in five Facebook users encounters malware, CNET has reported.
That finding comes from BitDefender’s Safego application, and security wonks would have you believe that understates the problem. The data doesn’t include the contents of private, direct messages between Facebook users. Messaging is like a frontier for security problems, so long as there are new features and others in development.
BitDefender arrived at the one-in-five figure based on analysis of the news feeds read by the 14,000 folks who have already installed Safego security software on Facebook.
