Facebook cares nothing about your security. Facebook defaults to the new Places feature turned on. That means people know where your are. That means if I go to LA and use Facebook, people know no one is at my home in Portland.Places defaults to ON. You need to be a genius to go through all the steps to turn the Places feature off. Here is a good description of how to do it. Takes a little time.http://bit.ly/boljqd
Facebook seems to be going to the dogs
Well, here we go again. The third major malware attack using Facebook within three weeks is loose this weekend.Find out more at: http://mashable.com/2010/05/29/facebook-hilarious-video/In case you haven’t noticed it, Facebook has had major security problems during the last few weeks. We are getting fake Facebook messages from a Canadian pharmacy. If you try to tell Facebook about your problem (which takes time I’m not paid for), Facebook will acknowledge your complaint but warns they really won’t help you much. Our scam email has jumped from what it was before.We have a neat way of solving this. We look at the header of the spam email, pull off the host IP, identify the hosting domain, then put the IP and hosting name in a public database for the white botnets to use for their fun. This public database is at: http://creatingnewworlds.org/stopspam.cfm.I don’t understand why Facebook is asleep. It was worth billions. With 500 million users and thousands of users, the user base is larger that the population of the United States – only exceeded by the population of India and China. One website reports 24,000 users have left since the problem started (http://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/media/facebook-youve-been-sent-a-message-angry-users-quit-over-privacy-fears/story-e6frg996-1225873244905). Why would Facebook throw away that 24,000 user base? Why would they ignore user problems?
