This Timeline can be accessed by any of your friends, or if your<br \/>\nprivacy settings arent locked down  potentially anyone.<\/p>\n<p>If you havent taken precautions to limit your Facebook<br \/>\nprofile to only be viewable by your friends, we urge you to make this change<br \/>\nnow. And we also urge you to take a look at who your friends are on Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>The reason we suggest youre cautious about your friends<br \/>\nlist is because the Timeline is going to be a gold mine for anybody who wants<br \/>\ninformation about you. Family names, high school names, pet names, favorite<br \/>\nsports teams, and favorite cities  these will all be accessible on a single<br \/>\npage in the Timeline  and can be used in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electronicverificationsystems.com\/solutions\/\">knowledge based<br \/>\nauthentication<\/a> questions for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electronicverificationsystems.com\/resources\/\">ID validation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So take a look at your friends and limit the people you dont<br \/>\nabsolutely trust with information that could be used against you. And a second<br \/>\nstep is to always use a secure password. Dont use a password that is<br \/>\nassociated with your name, favorite sports team, anniversary date, etc.<br \/>\nBasically, dont use a password that someone can figure out by looking at your<br \/>\nTimeline.<\/p>\n<p> <!--EndFragment--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most recent announcements Facebook has made is the introduction of Timeline, which will feature recent status updates but also summarize past events and feature the most important ones on a single page.  a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.electronicverificationsystems.com\/\">fraud prevention<\/a>nightmare.
