Facebook is jumping onto the coupon discount bandwagon. A lot of us use Groupon. Some are interested in seeing how Google offers BETA will change the game. Now’s there’s Facebook Deals to add to the mix.
Facebook Deals are starting in San Francisco, Atlanta, Austin, Dallas, and San Diego. You can signup for updates on Facebook Deals by going to Facebook Deals.
This is a follow up from my previous post from a week ago titled Facebook Security and their upgraded security features. Facebook has enabled secure browsing for my account. To enable this on your account, login to Facebook and go to the top right and click on “Account” and then click on “Account Settings.”
Inside of this screen go down to the option that states “Account Security” and enable the option “Set up secure browsing (https) and login alerts.”
CNN is reporting that Facebook is increasing their efforts to combat security problems. One such security problem was Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook account was hacked into yesterday and someone posted on his wall with a statement that started with “Let the hacking begin…” Apparently this was quickly removed but not without some 1,800 “likes” and hundreds of comments were posted.
One new security feature being implemented is called “social authentication” where a picture of a friend will appear on the screen when logging in and requiring you to match a name to the face.
Facebook also stated that they may require you to verify your identity if for example, your account has been logged into in California and then from Australia, a few hours later.
Additionally, Facebook plans to implement browsing their entire site over a secure connection instead of only encrypting the username and password to login to the site. This security enhancement would prohibit someone on the same Wi-Fi network to see what you were doing on Facebook.
