Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and other social networking sites are sweeping the world with tweets, friends and more messaging than ever before, but what’s the cost of all this networking? More than two-thirds of social community members don’t proactively protect themselves from cyber attacks, a survey by the CMO Council and security software maker AVG found.

All networking sites offer privacy controls to some extent, but 57 percent don’t regularly adjust these settings, therefore providing little to no real protection.
