IT infrastructure security company Sophos, has identified that the number one host for viral nasties on the web is Blogger (Blogspot.com) accounting for 2% of the total malware code on web 2.0.
But Blogger is not the only service being compromised, and malicious code has been uncovered on Facebook and LinkedIn with viruses and trojans hidden behind fake profiles and innocent links.
To protect data theft some companies already curb their employee's access to these and similar sites, permanently blocking the blog. But who is there to oversee and protect the casual home user?
And, why is more not being done by the web host companies to protect the blogging community?
