Digital Trends – 33-year-old Iain Wood, a man in northeast England that owned a carpet fitting business, has been sentenced to 15 months in prison for stealing $57,000 over two years from friends and neighbors. Woodâs scam involved befriending people in the vicinity of his home and becoming friends with neighbors on Facebook as well as another social network Friends United. With information collected off the Facebook pages, Wood would make online attempts to access a neighborâs bank account. Wood would bypass the password and go straight for the security question. Since most security questions involve a bit of personal information like a motherâs maiden name or a date of birth, Wood could gain access to bank accounts easily with the knowledge gained from the social networks.Â
