“Facebook, Twitter crooks just a click away”

Before reading the article “Facebook, Twitter crooks just a click away” I always knew that there were people on face book that are not there to network but to get something about of someone wallet. What I want to know is how these people could be identified, we call them today online crooks but how do we know which one is which. After reading the article I found out that there are more cyber thieves targeting popular social networking sites that provide a gold mine of personal information, according to the FBI. Since 2006, nearly 3,200 account hijacking cases have been reported to the Internet Crime Complaint Center. What I still want to know is how these thieves or crooks could be identified, and how can we know if we didn’t get hacked already.
