Facebook Adds New Security Measures

1 views

Facebook announced today that it has taken additional measures to help users whose accounts have been hacked or used to send spam.

The company says the vast majority of its users have never experienced a security problem but it wants to give members new ways to take back control of their accounts if it does happen.

"We've spent the last few months improving the way to guide people through the process of regaining access to their account after it's been compromised and used to send spam,"

"Now we're moving towards a new model that also involves clear and simple steps taken within Facebook itself. In doing so, we can ensure that the person logging in is the true owner of the account, thereby preventing hackers from using it to send spam in the future."

Facebook said it will be introducing similar safeguards in the coming months focused on the different threats members may face.
