Facebook Default Security Settings Leads to Home Invasion

According to a report by KPLR Teleivsion in St. Louis, a photo posted on facebook led to a home invasion. The victims had posted a picture of themselves standing over a large pile of cash from a settlement. Sometime after the photo was posted, their home was invaded by two armed and masked men asking where the money was. A couple of clicks could have stopped this home invasion.

Here are the default photo sharing settings:

Facebook default security settings image

The facebook default settings allow everyone to see your photo albums. To change these settings, you must go into Account / Privacy to change them.

Facebook Account Privacy Settings Menu Option

We suggest changing all settings to "Friends Only".

Changing default security to Frinds

If someone who needs them doesn't have access, they can ask you to be a Friend. For more on privacy settings see Using Notification for Facebook Login
