How Hackers Hack Facebook Account & How To Stop Them? by Chimarto: 3:22pm On Feb 02, 2015
In todays date, Facebook is the most popular social
networking site one would come across. From kids, to oldies, Facebook is the talk around everywhere.
User id’s are vulnerable to being hacked by many,
with various ways they find. And so here are some
measures you could take to keep your account safe from them.

Save your e-mail address :

– Keep you email id hidden from everyone. Go to
my profile, and personal i formation, and let you id
be visible to only you.
-Remove all your email addresses, and change the
primary one as the one which is only known to you.
– For additional safety, use the secure browsing
and send an email when logged into from another
browser option active.
Phishing is the easiest way to trick users from
logging in to the fake websites created. It takes just
a few codes and a url, and some measures to not
be detected as a fake one. Prevent yourself from
phishing by some basic measures.
To keep safe, never click in random urls, for they
might be a spam. Always use Facebook’s
homepage for logging in. Always use safe search.
Report sites you find fishy.

Keyloggers :

Keylogger is a virus that can be installed into your
computer by a cracker, and keep a track of all the
activities happening in there. It can be done
remotely, and even more easily if the cracker has
personal access to the system.
To prevent keylogging, never click on fishy
websites. Avoid use of pirated software’s, and tool
bars that come for free. Use a strong antivirus, and
keep a regular check on your system. Always make sure that the USB devices and other flash drives being used in your computer are secure.

Social engineering:

Social engineering could involve any trick that could fool you into giving out your personal details. From your security questions in general discussion to mails that could be a spam, ir somebody from
Facebook asking you to change your personal
Facebook details to the one stated by them. Its all
just a spam.

BE AWARE.
To prevent yourself from being fooled in such tricks say cautious all the time. Keep security question to which answers would remain confided to only yourself. Nobody from facebook would ever ask you to change your password or other personal details.
Always remain extra careful, for such hackers are
just around the corner searching for anybody they
could victimize.
