Survey revealed that social networks help breed the next generation of computer hackers. The popularity of these social networking websites like Facebook, Bebo and Twitter make it easier than ever for teens to gather personal information like name of the mother or father and the date of birth of their target which are foten asked as security questions for online accounts.

A British survey revealed that kids might be tempted by dodgy ways online to make money. 1 of 3 teens would consider hacking or spying on people for fast cash. While 4 out of 10 teens, probably 12 – 13 years of age, have hacked into another person’s social networking profile. This is so because kids have tendency to do things online which they would otherwise not do in person. When it comes to hacking, girls are more likely to gather information that will lead to bank accounts and boys are likely to hack social network accounts. Parents should take this issue seriously because hacking could be so dangerous.

This is likely to happen if parents are not involved with their kid’s life. Parents need to learn how to use their computers to protect their kids and make guidelines for their children’s online activities. If you want your teens to learn computer skills, you should as well take steps to protect them and watch them when they start crossing ethical and legal boundaries.
