Answer .... very good , same as our data in Facecrook
Actually Facebook is what PEOPLE make of it, there is a big difference between safety of data, and STUPIDITY ..... No security measures can replace common sense and therefore should not blame Facebook - Facebook is not a babysitter. If people are ignorant enough to put their whole life story and personal information about themselves and their kids, then they should not bloody complain . I have used facebook basically since the old days of CrowdFlower when it was required to have one - never had any issues there - if people put their phone number, home address, where they work, at what bank they withdraw money from at what time they leave the house (yes believe it or not some people do) then it's their problem - data can be safe and secure, but people should understand that their personal profile is still open for viewing, that's the point of SOCIAL media, what I was asking is how SAFE our data is, I'm pretty sure Facebook does not use plain text to store user info - a PUBLICLY HELD company caught doing this would be a complete DISASTER, so I'm sure they would know better - nobody has ever answered the question here about our data, clearly forum is not encrypted, but is that really an issue, it would be if people posted their personal information, and people know better than to post their personal info on the forum - there is only at lest ONE member here that I know of that has all of our personal data, in theory she would be trusted however, not to misuse it

BUT there could be other members with the info, there are some people which I won't name of the past that I would not trust with said info, some are no longer member, some might be - they will have a hard time trying to scam me though, but some people are easy targets, i.e. "Hello, your computer is hacked, you must give me $300 in gift cards so I can repair your computer and no mo virus". sucker at the other end: "Ok here is my money, now fix my computer" - 'nuff said - out of the thousands of "leads" these criminals go to, they will hit the suckers fairly easy, I suspect there is a large percentage of them, not the theoretical 1%
