Facebook, twitter and other social networking sites offer new opportunities for the credit union, the criminal and the upset customer. In this fast moving session you will learn how these very vehicles can be used to attack the good name of your institution. Security expert Barry Thompson will lead you though examples of how this new medium of communication, if not properly managed can turn into a nightmare. If your credit union has a Facebook page you will learn how your page, if improperly developed makes a great vehicle for phishing attacks against your account holders. This session shows you how "Social Media," can be used to attack your credit union, staff members or yourself via the Internet.
