Websense Security Labs has been tracking various Facebook attacks for many years. We've had to create numerous tools and methods to detect these types of attacks because most Web 2.0 social networking sites are difficult to track due to limited public access to most accounts. Most social networking accounts can only be viewed if the account holder explicitly accepts or requests another account to be added as a "friend". A generic Web crawler and even a search engine Web crawler would not be able to mine the pages on a social networking site due to lack of permission.


We've used our HoneyJax system , which we've spoken about in the past, to track malicious activity in the social networking world.
