The more pertinent question here, do the risks justify the gains? Social networking has history spanning over twenty years. Always has been the prime hunting ground for malicious hackers. Social Networking is fundamentally flawed for all time. This I am afraid will never change.
The malicious ones are counting on users to carry on being naïve about the real dangers.

Social networking Web sites such as MySpace.com are increasingly juicy targets for computer hackers, who are demonstrating a pair of vulnerabilities they claim expose sensitive personal information and could be exploited by online criminals.

So the question remains, do the risks justify the gains? For myself definitely not because the malicious ones are always two years ahead.
Just a thought
