Comment Can official Company pages be in danger as well? (Score 1) 142

This is an interesting point of debate, as it questions a company's internal control vs external gain. Since the point here you are addressing is the unintentional irresponsible use of Facebook et al, it calls for stricter organisational policies (rather rules) to restrict employees the access to their private profiles while using the company's internet network. Since almost every small & medium scaled organisation has 'promotion using social media' on their strategic e-marketing campaign list, is it possible for information on official company fb/twitter pages to be misused as well? If yes, this would pose a bigger threat. Any viewpoints?

Facebook the Most Dangerous Social Tool For Businesses 142

wiredmikey writes "According to a recent study Facebook is by far the most popular and most dangerous social media tool among small-to-medium-sized businesses, with 69 percent of respondents reporting that they have active accounts with this site, followed by Twitter, YouTube, and LinkedIn. Facebook is also the top culprit for malware infections and privacy violations, e.g. the leaking of sensitive company information. YouTube took the second spot for malware infection, while Twitter contributed to a significant number of privacy violations. For companies suffering financial losses from employee privacy violations, Facebook was again cited as the most common social media site where these losses occurred, followed by Twitter, YouTube, and LinkedIn."
