We have written frequently about the various security loopholes that are part of Facebook but never described the step-by-step process that you need to take to lock things down. Now someone has done it for us. Cameron Camp, researcher for ESET, has put together such a step-by-step guide to controlling privacy and security on Facebook. Reviewing this post it is clear that many of us aren’t as secure as we want to be, and we’re not just talking here about our exes or prospective employers being able to check up on us.
Camp covers the full breadth of Facebook privacy settings, including Facebook check-ins, third-party applications, login nuances and devices. He also shows users how to best secure their profile to avoid being hacked. Some of his suggestions make use of little-known security features. It is well worth following.
