Facebook problems seem to be getting worse. In the past 48 hours, I've received three spam-like email messages from friends who DID NOT send out the messages.
This has me alarmed. I have changed security settings to https:, as recommended by the OP. This morning, I changed my password to a much more complicated alphanumeric series with upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols. Did this for my gmail account, too. (Different complicated password, of course.)
And, I've gone into my Facebook account and purged complete strangers. At one point, i may have approved some friend requests, because I didn't think there was much risk. Now, I feel there is quite a lot of risk.
Finally, I've stripped almost all data from my Facebook info. I think one has to assume that ANYONE may be able to view data, even if info is marked to be viewable by only a few. Better to be paranoid, than sidejacked or hijacked. |
