A social network is a social structure made up of individuals or organizations called nodes, which are connected by one or more specific types of interdependency, such as friendship, common interest, and exchange of finance, relationships of beliefs, knowledge or prestige. A cyber threat can be both unintentional and intentional, targeted or non targeted, and it can come from a variety of sources, including foreign nations engaged in espionage and information warfare, criminals, hackers, virus writers, disgruntled employees and contractors working within an organization. Social networking sites are not only to communicate or interact with other people globally, but also one effective way for business promotion. In this paper, we investigate and study the cyber threats in social networking websites. We go through the amassing history of online social websites, classify their types and also discuss the cyber threats, suggest the anti-threats strategies and visualize the future trends of such hoppy popular websites.

“…Further evolution of information security system models strengthened the tasks of the owner, who chose himself, that is, from a standard set of such security measures that in his opinion, could provide an acceptable level of security [21][22][23].

Accounting automatically calculates weighted relative class systems through a complete, complex security of the most important processes and technical and organizational measures.

Social Networking Applications has gained tremendous response from all the sections of people across the entire world from last few years. Social networking has crossed all the boundaries and glued whole world population together. Users of OSN (Online Social Networking) sites can re-connect with school friends, find some activity or even life partners, and make new friends. OSN has also revolutionized the business community. Now the companies leverage OSN's credibility and build their reputation, get invaluable information about the customers. The companies are also using OSN for the advertising and the recruitment processes. However, posting of user information on OSN poses greater threats/risks as identity theft, online stalking, and information leakage. The volume and accessibility of personal information available on social networking sites have attracted malicious people who seek to exploit this information. This imposes greater threat to the users' privacy and security. In this article many security and privacy challenges currently faced by OSN applications are mentioned. The distributed OSN architecture with an external control module is proposed and a prototype is also presented which overcomes many of the privacy, security, accessibility and identity challenges in different perspectives faced by current OSN applications.
