Beware of viruses that are spread from social media. Even though it's a known fact that malware can spread like wildfire through social media sites, it may not be possible to totally block access to these sites at your facility. If you find that one device is affected, isolate that device from the network, work quickly to determine where the virus came from, and communicate this with staff to reduce re-infection, maintain network security and protect essential data.

Twitter claims it's not entirely possible to tell which accounts are automated or human controlled.

Facebook Begins to Inform Users if Their Data Was Stolen by Cambridge Analytica

This week, Facebook has been providing one of two messages to its users. If your information was stolen, you got this message:

"[Your Name], We understand the importance of keeping your data safe. We have banned the app "This Is Your Digital Life," which one of your friends used Facebook to log into. We did this because the app may have misused some of your Facebook information by sharing it with a company called Cambridge Analytica. In most cases, the information was limited to public profile, Page likes, birthday, and current city. You can learn more about what happened and how you can remove apps and websites anytime if you no longer want them to have access to your Facebook information. There is more work to do, but we are committed to confronting abuse and to putting you in control of your privacy."
