Viruses, Phishing links, Keyloggers, and
many other tricks created by hackers.
Here are some useful tips to secure
your Facebook account from hackers,
which you can also share it with your
friends and help them to check their
security settings.
What to do if your Facebook Account
has been hacked??
Don't worry if your Facebook account
has been hacked..!! As Facebook
updated their security settings which
can help you to get back your
Facebook account by following the
below instructions...

How to Secure your Facebook Account
from Hackers??
As Facebook updated their security
settings and provided more secure
browsing with many privacy settings to
protect your Facebook account from
hackers. I recommend the following
settings for your Facebook account for
the highest level of security.
1. Secure Browsing – Enabled.
2. Login Notifications – Enabled.
3. Login Approvals – Enabled.
4. App Passwords- Enable, if you don't
have any apps associated with your
Facebook account just leave it.
5. Recognized Devices- If there is
anything listed here that doesn’t look
familiar, or the date is not recent,
remove it.
6. Turn on login approvals- Enable login
approvals, whenever you access
Facebook from unknown browsers or
mobiles Facebook send a code to your
phone through which you need to login
to your accont.
7. Hide Your Personal Details- Hide your
personal details like email, phone
number and other details.
8. Limit who can discover your profile
based on your email address or
telephone number- This privacy setting
allow you to control who can find you
using your telephone number.or email
address.
9. Control who can contact you on
Facebook- This privacy settings by
default allow friends and people you
may know to send you a message to
your inbox. If you want only friends to
be able to contact you, you can
increase the filtering on your inbox.
10. Make sure only your friends can see
your profile- One of the main privacy
setting to be done...!!! To stay secure
from all edit the settings and make it
privacy.

secure??
Think before you click.
Watch out for fake Pages and apps/
games.
Don't accept friend requests from
people you don't know.
Pick a unique, strong password.
Never give out your login info (ex:
email address and password).
