Facebook Finally Adds HTTPS Support - 5 views

  •  
    I found this article interesting because it actually mentions the "firesheep" add-on we discussed during class as well as the encryption of our data.
  •  
    Good find. It's important to note that this piece is from 2011, shortly after the Firesheep controversy. As far as I can tell, HTTPS use is now mandatory, at least on Facebook.com. I don't know about the Facebook app, however. That might be something to look into.

  •  
    We need to really pay attention to how many different apps and resources we have connected to big sites like facebook, and google. Heck, Apple as a whole essentially has our entire lives on record. Don't link everything to facebook or google, and maybe consider diversifying your technology.

The 5 biggest online privacy threats of 2013 | PCWorld - 6 views

  •  
    This article opened my eyes to many things, such as how many cookies can be stored on your computer from not going to many websites, how easy it is to track ones location, and how Facebook could easily recognize you in real life. It discussed ways that information is gathered and stored about someone online that I hadn't even thought of before and was very eye-opening.

What if there's no WhatsApp in China? - 2 views

  •  
    Recently China blocked the Facebook app "Whatsapp," and I find this interesting because by the decision of their government, they can decide your intake of content from the outside world and where to cut it off. Some parts of this relate to Cryptography because people have become very creative in getting around firewalls and accessing blocked sites anyways.
