Facebook Boosts Security With Friend Identification and HTTPS Encryption

Facebook Security
This couldn't have been planned any better. The morning after Zuckerberg's fan page was hacked, Facebook announced a pair of new security features to keep hackers at bay. The site can now be accessed entirely over an encrypted HTTPS connection. In addition, Facebook has introduced a "social authentication" feature that asks you to identify friends in photos, instead of making you struggle to decipher a captcha when extra authentication is required.
