When the heterogeneous people entered to the social network it gives the opportunity to fill the gap between the people.  It leads to use social networking as a tool of bluffing also for criminal activities like frauds, online gambling, data hacking, data theft etc. When we update the information in social networks the data are not been private.  It can be seen and altered by anyone and anytime.  Hence, it is very essential to understand the social networks security settings for our safety.
