Dating on the Web - Another Reason to be Skeptical

<h1>Dating on the Web - Another Reason to be Skeptical</h1>Author: <a title="Heidi Keller-Rosen" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/heidi-keller-rosen/184823.htm">Heidi Keller-Rosen</a> While cruising around the web, searching for social matters that affect Singles, you can discover a great deal of information! Did you know this shocking news? CyberLover, a software program produced in Russia and issued in late 2007, employs "flirting robots" which can give about 10 conversations in 30 minutes and the target cannot distinguish between the 'bot' and a true human being. This has been around for a couple of years and no one actually knows about it! As if the average single isn't confronted with plenty of other problems, now they have to be cautious of everyone they talk to on the internet. The CyberLover software program robots are transmitted out to get their prey on online dating sites, social networking websites and chat rooms. CyberLover can imitate actual human behaviors and is designed to acknowledge and alter its interaction according to the answers of chat-room users. It also has a mixture of profiles ranging from "Romantic" to "Sexual Predator" so they can appeal to the largest variety of individuals. What's the use? Identity Theft. The robot "flirts" with the victim to develop primary data, names, photographs, contact information to then collect a thorough account on every last individual it encounters and renders them to a a trackless source. The hacker can use this information - entirely without any human interference! While most cyber-daters are wary enough not to give out credit card numbers online, they can get entangled when the irresistible guy or girl they're talking to asks them for their birthday and where they should mail them a present. Especially when the apple of their eye has provided their information from the start! Don't think you are off the hook if you exclusively use Facebook, MySpace or Twitter either. That's where the bots can do the most damage. By accepting a friend request from that attractive guy or girl, they can post a link to entice you to their 'personal' site or blog. These websites could in reality be a arranged site used to instantly infect their visitors with malware. Tips to protect yourself: <ul> <li>Ensure that your anti-virus and anti-spyware software is up-to-date.</li> <li>Consider using a nickname when joining Social Networking sites.</li> <li>Never reveal any information about yourself over the web.</li> </ul> While it's a little scarier to get out there and meet people personally, that's the safest way to find wonderful individuals. The party scene is just as bad, if not worse than dating on the web, though! The best advice is to go out and participate in activities that you already like to do! You'll meet people who share the same interests. Isn't that how romance starts? If you like hiking, find a club that likes to hike and head the nearest trails. If you have always wanted to try something, go take a class to discover how to do it - like jest skiing or indoor rock climbing. Certain classes may have more women than men, keep that in mind!
