Two main ways of obtaining private information on social network sites were summarized as based on privacy disclosure and attack technique. In each category, actions to threaten privacy were brought forth. A framework of dangers, which users facing on social network sites, was proposed, and according to privacy risks, protection methods were also discussed.
