Facebook Engineers are in the progress to develop the security features in your Facebook account.Facebook really want to protect your privacy with bulletproof system.

Recently facebook has developed the security tools to secure your accounts from suspicious activists and hackers.

We’ve built technical systems that operate behind the scenes to quickly detect and block suspicious behavior, delete phony posts and messages, and return compromised accounts to their rightful owners. Most of these systems are invisible to the average person who uses Facebook. Very few people will ever experience a security issue on Facebook, which means that most of you have probably never noticed these systems at work. Rest assured that these systems are there, though, protecting you and your friends.
