There has always been the issue of the authenticity of Wikipedia articles, but now you have to worry about being scammed as well. After YouTube, it’s another one of those examples of hackers using social networking website to spread their viruses around. The spirit of social networking is to promote sharing, and they provide a perfect platform for virus-writers. I guess we should be careful of what we get from the Web, doubly so for YouTube, MySpace, Wikipedia, or other social networking sites.
I download software like XAMPP, jedit, etc and the occasional stuff from download.com, from so-called trusted sources I suppose, but what if I want to download something from new and untried sources? I’ll usually pass. I guess I’m biased towards them, but it’s all in the name of security.
