  • a raid on suspected militants in the West Bank planned for Wednesday was called off by the country’s military because a soldier posted details of the operation on Facebook.
  • This news comes just days after the Pentagon announced a new social media policy that will permit American soldiers to use sites like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Flickr to keep in touch with family and friends online
  • he Pentagon, like many employers, says that it wants to reserve the right to put limits on how soldiers use the Web while on the job.

    Israeli soldier posts the details of an operation on Facebook, and the operation is called off. Ironic: the Internet, originally a military tool, causes trouble in the military. Like with potential victims for kidnapping in Mexico posting personal details online: should basic media literacy education be provided for the use of social media among groups with potential risks?

    OIX is a new organization that will try to provide identity credentials that can be accepted by both the private and public sectors. But, like some of this initiatives, government-wise it will only work, initially, in the U.S. Questions on privacy can also be raised? Wouldn't OIX allow for easier access to the whereabouts of an individual's online persona?

  • Estas páginas no sólo están exhibiendo a una persona, sino que dan información de quién compone la familia, dónde y cómo vive y dónde estudia. Esto crea la posibilidad de un secuestro”, aseguró Eduardo Muriel, investigador privado con más de 40 años de experiencia en el negocio de la seguridad.
  • ¿Fotografías de viaje esquiando en Valle de Bravo, Tequesquitengo o de fiesta en París o Disneylandia?
  • En Venezuela, otro país que atraviesa una crisis de secuestros, la consultora Informática Forense admite que estas redes son un claro riesgo para sus usuarios.

    In Mexico and other Latin American countries there have been some questions raised on how kidnappers can get precise information of potential victims and their spending power: friends, lifestyle, travels. If social networks like Facebook are a potential tool for criminals, should they be regulated by the government? Is it the media or the government's fault if such a use is being made? I am looking for references in English regarding this problem.
