Today ENISA (European Network and Information Security Agency) published a new report on social networks accessible through mobile devices titled "Online As Soon As It Happens" (online as soon as it happens). And 'possible to download the document from the website of ENISA .

This report also sees my own collaboration for Italy.

ENISA in its press release noted that:

The report points out the risks and threats of mobile social networking services, eg identity theft, data leakage and corporate reputation risks of mobile social networks. The Report Also Gives 17 'golden rules' on how to combat These threats.

(The report highlights the risks and threats of mobile social network services, eg. Identity theft, data loss and corporate reputation risks of mobile social networks. The report also contains 17 "golden rules" on how combat these threats)

The report does not cover the phenomenon of social networking for minors but it is a sort of general guide to avoid the risks associated with the phenomenon of mobile social networking. In this paper is a description of what is meant by mobile social network that is described as follows:

Mobile social networking is a means-of communication using a combination of voice and data devices over cellular networks Including private and public IP technology and infrastructure. Generally speaking MSNs can be Divided into two categories: 'on deck' and 'off deck'. 'On Deck' That Refers to services operated through partnerships Between social networking companies and wireless phone carriers. This category of services and programs enable the Which applications are distributed via social networking experience and the wireless carriers are pre-packaged with the purchase of a mobile phone. 'Off Deck' Refers to services instead Whose applications do not like pre-packaged and the user has to download the application from the Internet or from a wireless provider after the time of purchase.

Well, the document distinguishes between mobile social networkings (MSNs) "on deck" and "off deck": the first case of social network services pre-installed in your phone or mobile device and offered under an agreement between the social network provider and provider, while the latter is freely downloadable applications on the device and released by specific agreements.

The document provides the framework for privacy-related aspects of this phenomenon and the main rschi thereof.

Overall this is an excellent and useful document in the style of ENISA.
