One of the many issues surrounding the fast-growing social networks is that some of them operate as a “walled gardens”, that is, the content published within the networks supposedly requires you to be logged in to access messages, notes, personal details, and posted items such as video. But how secure are these free-to-join networks?

Here at Talking Voices, earlier this year we established the lack of security in music files hosted on Bebo, and alerted both the company and the Anti-Piracy Unit at the BPI that non-DRM, 160kbps tracks were searchable and downloadable without any kind of transaction. This security hole has since been fixed.

Some weeks back, a momentary glitch in fast-growing social network Facebook sent messages into the wrong inboxes, leading to at least one relationship breakdown. Now, Facebook internal videos are proving just as susceptible to being viewed outside the confines of the walled garden, as is very shortly to be revealed by well-known US technology commentator Robert Scoble. Watch this space.
