myself? My dad and I got into a fight over internet security because I said I wanted to upload some photos on Face book. Anyways, he told me he can hack my account in a week, and I told him not to. He said he wouldn't but I'm still worried. There's some stuff I don't want him to see. Just some poems, what me and my friends joke about etc.

I have the following in place:
An extremely strong password. letters, numbers, capitalization etc etc.
I have privacy settings that only show my profile pic when someone ants to add me.
Only people I am directly friends with can view my profile, pictures, info anything.


What else can I do?
 
I would be really surprised if he can hack you if you have a non-word structure password. With a keylogger, words can sometimes be recognized as passwords, but it's much harder to track if things are a jumble of letters numbers and symbols.

Keep changing your pass if you need to.

Maybe he's just messing with you to see how you will react.

You can have a million characters as your pw, he's still gonna sniff it because he's got physical access to your box and network. You can even hide your box in your room, put cascade industrial encryption on it that not even a quantum computer can break, but once you login and he's the man-in-the-middle with the almighty router, he can just copy your security browser session with some s'kiddie tool found on some silly site like [i'm not gonna say bc I'll get reported] dot org, and then you are compromised.

My advice is that a) never use your home network to log into anything. b) bring your laptop and log into facefuk with your new pw (that you haven't written down) on a semi-private wifi network (but wired-preferred), like any "registration-required network" - like your school or *gasp* starfucks. Or your friend's house, so long as you trust their boxes too.
