Facebook - the new home for spies

Recently social networking sites have been under fire for a variety of reasons, bullying, sex scandals (of one form or another), privacy issues, the list goes on but the latest complaint does seem to be stretching the imagination a little.

It would appear that "Arab conmen" are currently trying to recruit 'spies' through Facebook, or so the Israeli internal intelligence service would have us believe. Shin Bet warn that Terrorist Organisations are using these sites in an attempt to encourage Israelis to meet up in person in order to either harm them or recruit them as spies.

Given the many past occurences of wrong-doings on such sites, the thought of Facebook becoming the next spy recruitment center does not seem to be that improbable, although I find it very unlikely that any spy worth his/her salt would trust their nefarious activities to such a dubious community as the social networks.
