Et tu, Brute!


(More of that Welsh language stuff - apologies!)

The reason for this post is that, despite the obvious advantages of Facebook, some analysts are currently suggesting that your favourite social networking site could be a threat to your online security.

The WebProNews online newsletter argues that the way Facebook uses cookies is not as transparent as you might think, and your Web activity might continue to be tracked even when you are logged out of Facebook.

Take a look at this article and ask yourself if you are not being just a little naive!  (The intentions of Facebook itself are, we are sure, entirely honourable but, as you know very well, the criminal world is not populated entirely by idiots, and creative thinking is not the exclusive preserve of the law-abiding!)
