It goes without saying that Facebook has the responsibility to protect a huge number of users—900 million to be exact. But how, exactly, does it go about doing that? The Verge has an interesting look at the behind-the-scenes hidden security measures that are routine for the social network, but that we don't often think about. It seems to be looking out for the average user, though what Facebook is doing with your data itself is a completely different story.
One of the ways Facebook protects you is by keeping tabs on your username and password. It scans sites like PasteBin weekly to make sure hackers aren't dumping people's credentials.
And what about those hundreds of links you probably click on Facebook each week? The site is keeping an eye on those, too.
