Facebook is the most popular social network in the world, it is not nothing new, and increasingly has gained more users, but also is one that has the worst privacy and security policies and thus, attacks on users social network have gained enormous strength.
With the increasing use and the social power that Facebook has today, there is also the growing attacks theft of personal data, where according to data recently revealed that 25% of phishing attacks carried out worldwide, turn the image and prestige of the social network.
Although a simple photograph not appear danger, web and with current technology, it is possible to identify the location where the picture was taken including the identity of those involved.
And social networking sites are ideal for this kind of recognition because of the huge amount of photos that people make available online. Despite privacy policies make the photos private and visible only to the user who wants to, can be accessed by malicious people if they resort to malicious techniques.
So to help you increase your privacy, McAfee launched on the 28th August to Social Protection Beta application, it is a social application for Facebook for the user to increase the safety of your photos.
The Social Protection protects the photos from being copied, printed and make print screen using the Print Screen key, and to test functionality, I tried to print screen and the result was below the image, an image completely black with no alternatives for viewing partial or total content.
As this is an application produced by the team not Facebook, it does not interact on the servers of the social network, and therefore, the photographs may not be submitted in the normal way but using the application. And since not interacting with the social network's servers, they can only be viewed from McAfee Social Protection.
For the application McAfee Social Protection and work so that we can protect and display the pictures, we have to install a plugin that currently still only works with browsers Mozilla Firefox 8 or higher and Internet Explorer 8 or higher on Windows 7 system.
