Facebook has published its official security guide: Own Your Space. The new twenty page PDF document is a guide to Facebook security for young adults, parents, and educators and covers:
- How to protect your Facebook account
- Avoiding the scammers
- Using the advanced security settings
- Recovering a hacked Facebook account
- How to stop imposters
Facebook is a notorious place for security problems (see here and here) and, in the past, has failed spectacularly to understand the privacy issues of its users. This PDF is a long overdue attempt to help the social media giant’s nearly 500 million users understand, recognize and avoid the multitude of scams posted to Facebook everyday.
