Online sharing videos, music can attract hackers!!!
Is it 100% safe to download free video and music online? This is a common concern that often come into our mind, but sad to say that the answer that I’ll give to you is probably-NO! After done with the review on hackers benefited from online sharing of video and music and together with some research on related topic, indeed I’m strongly agree to those security specialists that stated that online sharing of videos and music at the heart of today's Internet lifestyle gives hackers dangerous new avenues for attacking computers!
We often hear people say that there’s no such thing as a free lunch under the sun,but have we really pondered into it? Same apply here in this fast pace virtual society; do you think most of free downloaded websites so generous to provide you the free music and video? Are the channel safe? Think twice...
As what iSEC researcher David Thiel mentioned, it’s true that malicious code can be hidden in video streamed or downloaded from websites such as YouTube or songs streamed from social-networking websites including MySpace. He also emphasized that the kinds of "malware," malicious software, that can be "injected" through video or music files run the gamut from programs meant to simply be annoying to code that takes command of infected machines for bot armies. This is where hackers can use those websites as a medium in which to insert these malware and hack into our computer system..
People should bear in mind that websites that offering free downloadable content such as music and porn video are much more likely to have malicious content and frequently hide computer viruses! So guys, forbid porn and live a healthy lifestyle, think twice before download any, or else viruses are await of you out there!

Hey, it's me again;)Hope you don't mind if i give some "less agree" comments. Frankly speaking, i'm not so agree with some of your views, 1stly when you say-"NO" to free video and music download.
Basically nowadays there are so many people throughout the world downloading free music and videos at the moment you point out your view, do the common concern appears in their mind as well? Just be straight forward, i myself, as well download music from Limewire.com, a P2P site, and i uploaded songs as well, but i have no any intention nor motive to be a hacker, merely want to share music with other ethusiatics.So it sound bit like boom a ship just because of one wrecked sailor.. Anyway i know you doesn't carry that meaning in your review, but i just want to bring it out what may lead other to think else.. Anyway, great job and kinda funny in some parts, haha, especially the"No porn" part, haha, thanks for the advice anyway ;P thanks dude and see ya
Jian Yi: I'm sorry on that, i don't download free music and video from websites, maybe i'm bit outdated, but i'll feel really unsecure if i really go and download songs and video from the net, i don't really know why.. Pls forgive me. Anyway, this review is merely my own point of view, i'doesn't represent any other teammates nor my Uni. Thanks alot for being frank, i feel gladful on it.
