Whoever wanted to could now comparatively easily get to the username / password combination of a Facebook member. This could be written in the name entries, read emails, upload photos. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg was even recently casualties of an attack - as well as to numerous Tunisian Facebook members whose ex-government have stolen the access to an unparalleled, state-Hack Action.

With https it is (for the first time) final (and "Wired" explains in detail why). https encrypted Internet data transfers - other Web services such as Gmail or online banking, long using this technique.
In the coming weeks, Facebook will now offer little by all the members of the https option. If you want to find out whether he or she already is one of the lucky ones, look for here: "Account" -> "Account Settings" -> "Account Security.
