But Facebook has set up a mini social network designed for security and cyber experts where they can share and learn about the latest threats facing their users.
Called ThreatExchange, the site builds on Facebook’s existing ThreatData tools currently used to discover and tackle scams and cybercrime.
“ThreatExchange enables security professionals anywhere to share threat information more easily, learn from each other’s discoveries, and make their own systems safer,” explained the site.
 “Threats like malware and phishing typically go after multiple targets, and a successful attack at one place usually makes it easier to take over systems elsewhere. We share in each other’s fate.”
It added that to ‘be stronger together’, companies need a more open approach to security to protect people’s accounts and get rid of viruses.
