"She lists eight ways to keep your networks safe:

* Don't assume a link is "safe" because it's from a friend.
* Don't assume Twitter links are safe because Twitter is now scanning for malware.
* Don't Assume Bit.ly Links are safe.
* Use an up-to-date web browser.
* Keep Windows up-to-date.
* Keep Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash up-to-date.
* Don't assume you're safe because you use a Mac.
* Be wary of email messages from social networks (because email addresses can be "spoofed" by hackers). "
