Social media is an absolute gold mine for certain malicious actors. Facebook, LinkedIn to be sure, but also the lesser trafficked sites.
Some people store date of birth in their FF profile. That is very handy. Also is the list of email addresses. A person of interest may reuse their handle and password across a number of sites. The pros are a generally good at travelling under the radar, not generating too much traffic to signal they are poking around.
