What is the motive behind security attack ? Is it malaise, revenge, competition or revenue generation. Definitely social site robust robust security and on the flip side Security purveyor would continue to invent and re-invent the solution to apprehend security breaches.
Having said that knowledge is moving to cloud and security threats will also increase and move to the cloud.

I saw a fairly large number of new "followers" hit my Twitter account. The only trouble is that with one profile picture, there were, in some cases, 7 or 8 different Twitter user names. I don't know what they were after and I am glad I picked up on that prior to following. Of course this indicates that more than a few Twitter accounts had obviously been hacked.
