An article where Facebook reveals that it was a target of a "hacker group". I have a few questions after reading this article. 1) Is this even true or is it just a way for Facebook to deflect attention from greater self-perpetuated security issues? 2) If Facebook is already giving our information and identity away, who is left to hack it and why? 3) Based on class discussion this past Thursday, the 14th, does this change anybody's perspective on how "safe" they feel on Facebook?

 As far as safety, I feel like if were to change one thing it would be to get a private email server instead of getting off Facebook. While Facebook does have a significant amount of information, I think someone could do much more damage to my life by sifting through my emails (bank accounts, everything I have backed up, etc.) than through my very minimal Facebook activity.

Thanks for fixing that! What about the point that Professor Moglen makes that isn't really just "our" safety that we need to be concerned about, but more the informing that we are doing on others?
