Is your Facebook Inbox secure? It may seem more secure than your news feed (wall) but as always on the internet nothing is secure, isolated and nothing offers privacy.

Το program ανίχνευσης χρησιμοποιείται για την απόκτηση λεπτομερειών από μια διεύθυνση URL για να τα εμφανίσει τον τρόπο που βλέπετε τις συνδέσεις στο Facebook: με τίτλο, περιγραφή, και μια μικρογραφία της εικόνας.
With his tests, De Ceukelaire was able to discover a number of objects that Facebook assigns to a link every time it is shared by a user, and thus figured out the exact URL it represents. These URLs can include anything. From videos, news, photos, private Google Docs, and much, much more.
When the researcher contacted Facebook about the matter, the company responded that this is normal as this is how the crawler works, and that for this particular procedure intended.
De Ceukelaire is a developer and was able to take advantage of the tool without Facebook being able to locate and stop him.
This gives us another interesting insight into exactly how it addresses the URLs you share Facebook. On the one hand, the social network with the same function often stops unwanted and malicious addresses in the news feed.
But knowing all of the above, who can trust the social network and share sensitive personal data with their friends? Needless to say, any connection that "falls" on the social network is scanned and analyzed, regardless of whether you post on your "wall" or in a private Messenger chat.
If you do not want the links to your personal photos or any other data you share in Facebook, be checked by strange developers, the publication of De Ceukelaire came to hit you the bell.
