     Facebook has become an integral part of our life and we can  not get away from it, but we sure should know to what extent e should use it. As the old saying goes "too much of any thing is bad", users who are frustrated that their friends do not comment or like the post they update please cool off and move on, because hacker may take advantage of you. We would suggest all our readers not to click to any links that you get in message saying "I saw a funny video of you" or " I saw a funny photo of you" , these are phishing attacks and there are lots more so be selective in what you click. :)
