Abstract :
In this paper, we explore the risks of friends in social networks caused by their friendship patterns, by using real life social network data and starting from a previously defined risk model. Particularly, we observe that risks of friendships can be mined by analyzing users´ attitude towards friends of friends. This allows us to give new insights into friendship and risk dynamics on social networks.
