Abstract:
The Information Society has created different possibilities for remote access to distributed information resources and communications between users (virtual environments, cloud services, social media, etc.). With millions of users’ data (or billions, in the case of Facebook) floating around the web, the need for tight security from social media platforms is obvious. The wide age range and technology experience level of social media users makes security management even more complex. A social platform needs to not only combat hackers, but also has to protect users whose personal security practices might be elementary.
