There are many potential security risks with social networking sites and the individuals who use them. These sites have been adopted by people of all ages worldwide, empowering new opportunities for the presentation of the self-learning, construction of a wide circle of relationships, and the management of privacy and intimacy. This study analyses the effect of social networking security practices, more specifically Facebook and its security and privacy settings. We identify four hypotheses: The more important Facebook users believe security is an important factor in choosing a social network, the more often they will change their security settings, the more important protection against ID theft is for Facebook users, the more frequently they will change their privacy settings, Facebook users who have left their security on a default setting have more frequently fallen victim to a virus or malware attack, and users of Facebook who have their privacy set to a custom setting are less likely to receive an attack on their profile.
