«We have not been able to observe how virtual activities have begun to affect our lives, including relationships with our loved ones. Of course, in some cases, social networks are a real blessing :. They allow us to communicate more closely with people who can not be next to us naturally, but we must not forget the dangers of such communication: relations can be adversely affected or even destroyed by social networks, so we must be very careful about what we share with our friends and how they can influence them, commented Andrey Mochola, Head of Consumer Kaspersky Lab Business.
