OCTOBER 1ST – SECURITY FOR YOUR (BUSINESS and HOME) FANPAGE IS A NEW REQUIREMENT!!!

Yes, as of October 1st, EVERY single person that browses Facebook at that point will NOT be able to see your CUSTOM fanpages if you have not secured them in one form or another.

That counts for everyone: Facebook Fanpage Owners, Website Owners, Individuals, Businesses, Designer, Developers – Absolutely everyone!

If you have your Business Fan Pages through LotCon Biz Solutions or LotCon Consultoria you are okay. We have all Fanpages of our Customers already on SSL secured sites. We also have updated all our client applications to point to the correct https:// locations.

If you are not sure what need to be done get some help. If you arranged your fan pages through your WordPress blog you should be aware of additional possible problems.

 

What is SSL?

SSL and Secure Certificates provide security for website by encrypting communications between the server and the person visiting the website. Many payment processors requires SSL enabled sites for payment processing.

In order to use SSL, you need to have an SSL Certificate (also known as a Secure Certificate) installed on the server where your fan pages are located. Visitors to your website need a modern web browser, such as recent versions of Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari or Google Chrome.

There are two main reasons why servers need an SSL Certificate. The first and most common reason is because you want to accept credit card payments on your website. The second reason is that you may have confidential information that you want to keep secure while it is being accessed via the web. SSL Certificates also help protect your passwords from being intercepted, when typed into a secure login page. Facebook have been under scrutiny for lack of security, hence they will now insist as of October 1st, 2011 to display Facebook Fanpages from SSL secured web locations. So, if you are just a browsing in Facebook and a fan page will not display, then you know why: the Facebook Fanpage owner doesn’t have not a secure site!
