A friend posted this the other day. For anyone who hasn't seen or heard of this . . . . .


"FB has changed and said nothing. Take a look at your URL (top box on your screen.) If you see "http" or just "www" instead of "https" you DO NOT have a secure session & can be hacked. Go to Account Settings - Account Security - click Change. Check box (secure browsing), click Save. FB has automatically set it on the non-secure setting! Do everyone a huge favor, copy & re-post!"

If you play a game or use an app, when you return to FB the "s" is gone and you have to reset it all over again. Just not worth it.

Plus, this isn't "new," it is at least 6 months old (that is when I first saw it).

Well, I don't play games, am new to FB, and just received this from a friend who has been on for a long time.

Just thought I would pass the word.

I don't play ANY games on FB. I just only post status messages/post on my friends' walls, and exchange messages. That's it. I do have my facebook secured as well.

Thanks, I have applications blocked and I had to reset it, too.

I changed mine ages ago, and it's always https everytime I go there.
