Is Your "Friend", Your Friend?

   An interesting topic came up the other day.  The question was whether to accept random social media
requests.  Does your "friend" need to be your friend?

   Your answer to that question might vary based on the social network and how you use that social network.

   There's also an important Security Awareness angle here.  Social networks can be a vector for malicious links, phishing attempts, malware and scams.  These malicious techniques often work better when the link/attachment/request comes from a "friend", rather than via a random email or connection.
