Facebook Hacked Again, This time they did something.

When you run a site as big as facebook. You paint a huge target on your back for hackers. People breaking into Facebook and other large sites is not new and rarely gets a response, but hack the Billionaire C.E.O.s account and you can bet changes will be swift.

Effective immediately, users are able to view Facebook through HTTPS, which essentially creates an instantly secured connection over an otherwise insecure network. This will help eliminate password stealing while users browse on public wireless networks, a huge contributor to the volume of personal account hacks. Be warned: What you gain in security, you may lose in speed, as HTTPS can sometimes dramatically decrease your page loading time. Switch the feature on via your Account Settings page.
