(Please read the blog if you haven&#8217;t already.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of our readers mentioned how her clients are often sending personal and financial information via Facebook Messenger or Chat.  Not unlike email, what we don&#8217;t know about security might hurt us.  So, let&#8217;s look at a some information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>First, what is encryption? <\/strong> Wikipedia has a great definition: &#8220;In cryptography, encryption is the process  of encoding a message or information in such a way that only authorized  parties can access it and those who are not authorized cannot. Encryption does not itself prevent interference, but denies the intelligible content to a would-be interceptor.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Next, is Facebook Messenger encrypted?<\/strong> The answer to this question is the &#8220;Microsoft Answer&#8221; &#8211; it depends. If you choose to send a &#8220;secret&#8221; message, your chat will be encrypted. No one will be able to read it except those actually in the chat conversation. Unfortunately, many people do not know about this feature. Here&#8217;s how to use it: 1) Open Facebook Messenger; 2) Click on the Compose icon (looks like a pencil and pad); 3) In the upper right-hand corner, click on the word &#8220;Secret;&#8221;  4) Choose your recipient;      5) Start your text message. This conversation will be encrypted end-to-end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Another good method:<\/strong>  Instead of fooling around with Facebook Messenger, I&#8217;d use WhatsApp.  WhatsApp is another Facebook-owned company but conversations within the app are encrypted end-to-end by default.  There&#8217;s no chance you&#8217;ll forget to hit a button and send something in the open.  Chats, pictures, even phone calls made through WhatsApp to another WhatsApp user are totally encrypted.  WhatsApp also has a web interface so you can use it from your computer &#8211; not just smartphone and tablet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this past Saturday&#8217;s blog (Email &#8211; More Important Than You Think), we talked about how most people treat the security of their email too lightly.
