Blog #8

As I was searching on Facebook, I went to my account settings and clicked on security. Mostly everything looked correct until I found a section that was called Active Sessions. When I clicked on it, it came up with nine different places that I have logged in at that dates back to November 21, 2011. The section has three categories for each location it detects: Last accessed, Location, and Device Type. Looking at my recent sessions, I noticed that on Saturday I supposedly was on Facebook in Columbus, Indiana while on Sunday I checked in at Columbus, Ohio and what shocked me the most; Wichita Falls, Texas. I was very confused because I know for a fact that I have not been to any of these places this weekend. Below is what the Active Sessions look like along with a fine print sentence about what to do.

ACTIVE SESSIONS:

Current Session
Location:	Cincinnati, OH, US (Approximate)
Device Type:	IE on Win7

If you notice any unfamiliar devices or locations, click 'End Activity' to end the session.


When I first saw this active session section I was confused and shocked because I could not believe that I was checked into these locations that I have not been to recently and I have never been to two of these locations. I feel that any normal person would react this way if they have never been to a city and have never heard of it as well and it says that you were logged in. I am not really sure of this security feature because all it says to do to end the session is click. I wish that it would tell us when we have a new location for logging in that would make me feel better about knowing when I am logged in and if someone is trying to hack me.
