You may be connected to a friend, and again your friend might be connected to his/her friends, to target the wealthy and healthy contacts, the phishers come in post some anonymous messages, and give some videos to attract and so on to get your access.
Though the social networking sites are trying their level best to protect such kind of incidents, by giving enough security to advise their users. Lets discuss such kind of incidents (may be accidents) that you would have heard off, and how they prevented themselves, lets share our thoughts to protect our friends globally... and provide them awareness of what we know.
