How safe are you on Facebook?

Have you ever wondered who all have the access to the posts you post on Facebook?
First of all, your ISP has all your internet communication and also has your router’s MAC address. Obviously it has the access to read your Facebook posts.

Internet explorer

Mozilla Firefox

This can be avoided by simply checking if the connection to Facebook server is encrypted or not. This can be effortlessly done just by checking if your URL contains ‘https’ instead of ‘http’ which means that the connection between your PC and Facebook server is encrypted with SSL. SSL is not fully secure, it also has loop holes, but is the only way available at present.

Google Chrome

What is encryption?
Encryption is nothing but the data sent to the server is encoded in such a way that only your PC and the Facebook server can read it. This is a technique which is used in the payment gateways, when you pay with your credit card, debit card, etc. This method helps prevent hacking.
