Facebook cannot only risk the life is users, but it can also risk the life of their computer. Facebook users are now at a risk to malware injection (How do Facebook Hacks Lead to Identity Theft? Par. 6). According to the Identity Theft Resource center, “Malware injection is that procedure where a “friend” in some way convinces you to click a link, or run a program that installs malware on your computer” (How do Facebook Hacks Lead to Identity Theft? par. 6). Even though the user would have to click the link to go to an outside web page and Facebook is not the direct source of the virus, it can be very deceiving when a friend's hacked account sends the a harmful link (Herbert par. 3). When a computer is hacked, it can lead to more serious information theft than just account information. When the hacker gains access to the computer, they can steal anything stored on the user's computer. This stolen information ranges from old family photos, to pay stubs, saved passwords, and possibly even social security numbers. The risk of identity theft is very real when using Facebook, and it is often overlooked by users.
