Without his input, Bryan Rutberg's Facebook status update -- the way friends track each other -- suddenly changed on January 21 to this frightening alert. Media reports of impersonation on Facebook are increasing. Facebook spokesman Barry Schnitt told CNN that impersonation schemes affect less than 1 percent of Facebook's 150 million users. In the Seattle case, a hacker appeared to steal Rutberg's identity to get money from his friends by toying with their emotions. In Wisconsin, police accuse an 18-year-old man of posing as a woman on Facebook to get high school boys to send him naked photos of them.

Stay off those sites, and do not send a picture of yourself to anybody. Everything you send has the potential to be retrieved in time, and possibly used against you.

Start with settings that allow for as much security as possible. Change them only after you are certain about what you are doing.
