[Sheflug] Facecrook or Farcebook ?

[Richard Ibbotson <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

linked-social-networking-sites-increase-7-000--terrifying-truth-
criminals-targeting-home.html

I do get a bit bored with telling people about network security at 
meetings and to be honest I think some people get a bit fed up with me 
talking about it.  The Daily Mail might not be the best newspaper out 
there but in this case I'd be prepared to believe what they are saying 
about Facebook....

" When Kai Leighton was born with a life-threatening heart defect, his 
mother and father did what many Âmodern Âparents would do: they kept 
their concerned family and friends up to date with regular Âpostings 
on Facebook.  For five weeks, father Haydn and mother Jamie-Leigh 
maintained an anxious vigil at the childâs Âbedside in Leeds, updating 
everybody with one Âmessage at a time instead of making dozens of 
phone calls to their home town of Hull.   And when Kai went into the 
operating Âtheatre, they were able to announce with relief that the Â
surgery had been successful.  Hard to believe, then, that someone 
would take advantage of their Facebook messages not to send flowers and 
heartfelt congratulations, but to burgle their home safe in the 
knowledge that they were 60 miles away. "


Hope everyone has a good Christmas :)
