InfoLawGroup, LLC, began a three-part series June 11, 2011 that discusses security concerns and legal risks in the social media environment.
The three-part 2011-2012 legal implications series for social media, authored by lawyer David Navetta in the Denver office of InfoLawGroup, LLC, includes:
- Part 1: The Basics
- Part 2: Privacy
- Part 3: Data security
Navetta, in his final post in the series, says three main security-related issues pose potential security-related legal risks:
- Accessing social media sites from company computers or personal computer devices connected to company networks that store sensitive company data, leading to potential malware, phishing, and social engineering attacks that result in security breaches and legal liability
- Spoofing and impersonation attacks on social networks that pose legal risks: i.e., fake fan pages or fraudulent social media personas that appear to be legitimately operated
- Information leaks resulting in an adverse business and legal impact when confidential information is compromised
