WCF is just a framework to make communcation simpler, it doesn't in and by itself make anything secure.

JSON is just a nice way to transmit data, esp when sending to a webpage, as it can be more compact than xml, and javascript can parse JSON faster than xml since JSON is made for javascript.

If you have any sensitive information you can either encrypt that specific data or you can just use SSL connections, but that can impact performance.

JSON-enabled WCF services are REST-based - those basically transmit everythign in clear text, so in order to get any protection against snooping, you'd have to secure the transport layer using e.g. SSL encryption.
