A survey of security vulnerabilities in social networking media
Elizabeth Fokes, Lei Li · 2014
This paper conducted a survey study on the security vulnerabilities in one of most popular social networking site, Facebook. We divide the vulnerabilities into two main categories: platform-related and user-related. For each vulnerability, we present its origin, description and remedy if there is any. Our work not only increases users' awareness of those vulnerabilities, but also provides a comprehensive view to the researchers who are interested in improving security measures of social media services.
