What a simple and easy tip to avoid being hacked on facebook. We all have it so why not keep it as secure as possible. Pass it on.

Original content by Lori Churchill Cofer

I read this tip on one way to avoid having your facebook page hacked and wanted to share it with my Active Rain friends.  And I wanted to share it with my friends on facebook as well.  

Look in your address bar.  If it says http://www.facebook.com you might want to consider making a change in your account settings.  

 

 



First look in your upper right hand corner for Account.  Click Account Settings.

 






 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then scroll down to change your security.  Click the first box.  I also have clicked the second box as well.  And of course click Save.  Everytime I log into my account I get an email.  For me that is a great way to keep an eye on things.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now my address bar looks like this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PS.  If you are using Internet Explore 7 or under it will disable chat.  You either need to upgrade your brower, or switch to Mozilla or Google Chrome which I prefer anyway.  This is super easy and only takes seconds to do.  Hope this helps!

Robert...great info. We presently do not use Facebook due to the use of our last name in our business and the situation with a disgruntled ex-family member.  To not use our business name would be useless ; However, if I ever do try will for certain use the HTTPS.  Have a great rest of the week.
