Abstract only attached.The paper will illustrate the dangers of social networking malware through examples. In addition, the paper will discuss propagation techniques used in social networking malware. The aim of the paper is to create user awareness to minimise the risk of falling prey to malware in popular social networking platforms. The paper will recommend best practices to users to guard against falling prey to social networking malware. In addition, the design of a high-level system to identify potential social network media malware will be proposed. Through this paper, users can better identify potential malware before they infect themselves.enSocial networking malwareSocial networking sitesSocial engineeringPropagationConference PresentationLabuschagne, W., & Veerasamy, N.
