Assignment 3: Facebook Security

I came across something in the news that is an interesting subject and may very well pertain to you, if you a Facebook user. The default settings for Facebook (FB) when you create your account are being changed so that it is available to the public; it's known as the "everyone" setting.

I'm okay with this because I always modify my settings to ensure that some "pervert" out there can't easily figure out where I live and put my family at risk. Not everyone is as computer-savvy I am though... so you may not be okay with this but it can be changed.

With that being said, more security settings are also being made available and it's up to you to figure it all out. Let me know what your thoughts on this are...

This article will help get you started in the right direction:
