24-Aug-2008 19:16 GMT: Be safe on Facebook

A few people I know ("friends") on Facebook have recently had messages/wall posts sent in their name that link to malware. It seems to me that these issues demonstrate two things to avoid:

Using Internet Explorer. This should be the case anyway incidentally.
"Remembering" your details. This should also be the case anyway - on any authenticated site.

You see, having your details saved within IE makes it very easy for Mr Malware to post in your name, in the background, without you knowing anything about it.

Don't do it. Don't use IE. Don't save authentication details. Do neither of these things. Make the world a better place.
