Those victims can only be TIV speaking tribe from Benue. Jukun and Tiv have refused to settle the age long scourge of land dispute in Dan-Anacha . I escaped the cross fire by whisker in that town in year 2000 as a secondary sch student there, now the once beautiful town is a desert. I wept passing there to Jalingo NYSC camp two yrs back

PhonesRe: My Facebook Account Hacked! How Do I Retrieve It? by Bugcompiler(m): 3:26pm On Feb 05, 2020
How Hacking Works & How To Retrieve Hacked Account

Of many requests I have gotten as a web designer, a large chunk of them usually come from scammers. What do they want? They want me to help them hack through Facebook profiles. Knowing how this works will help you secure your accounts even further.

For the records, I have never, will not and do not develop phishing websites. This is for education purpose.

Phishing is a method of taking people's personal data illegally such as passwords, bank card numbers, and other information. Knowing the mechanism involved will help you identify one when you see it.

The simple way hackers get access to your password is by using HTML & PHP. They use the source code of the Facebook login page to develop what looks like a Facebook login page. Within the HTML, they link a PHP code that picks up your username and password if you ever type them on the login page.

Your username and password are saved on a TXT file and this way they can just open the text file, see your username and password. This is a simple thing to do with a little working knowledge of HTML & PHP.

Now, they get you to log in by sharing the link to you. For example, you may see stuff like "LEAK: See how Davido & Tonto Dikeh spent the night after Night of Thousand laughs" and because you are too carried away by irrelevant gossips, you'd click on the link to see!

On opening, you may see exactly what looks like a Facebook login page that says "you must log in first" and because this looks exactly like Facebook login screen without minding the link in the URL bar, you may put in your login details and this submits your private information to the hacker.

This is the mechanism: the HTML code gives you the login page, the PHP code collects your password and drop it on the TXT file. It's not rocket science and these hackers aren't more intelligent or smarter than you.

Your card details can also be taken this way. You may see stuff like "click here to win airtime" or "click here get instant #5,000". Every single detail you give these people can be used.

In case you activated 2nd authentication or they are about changing your code, you may get a call like "hello Sir, you've been selected as a winner of Facebook iPhone promo. A code has been sent to you and it is your winning code, please call the code so I proceed with sending your winnings." There are so many formats but they will eventually request a code.

How to ensure your account is safe:

Update your phone number and emails on Facebook and other social media handler.

Stop using emails and phone numbers you no longer have access to. When something goes wrong with your account, you may lose it forever.

More security measures:

1. Update your Social Media Details

2. Verify your phone number and email

3. Change your passwords and log out of all previous devices.

4. Activate TWO-AUTHENTICATION

5. Set up a legacy account (add the account of someone you trust who will always help you retrieve your account)

6. Don't log into your social media accounts using public devices or even a friend's device.

7. If you must use a friend's device or a public device, always use the incognito tab on browsers and ensure you close the tab before leaving.

8. When you click on links and it prompts you to put in your Facebook password or requires access to your Facebook account, close it immediately! Altogether, click only on links you trust.

9. When you receive any call requesting for any code sent to you, never respond to them. You are free to shout "thief!" into their ears and hang up the call.

10. Don't procrastinate... Review and update your details now!

HOW TO RETRIEVE A HACKED FACEBOOK ACCOUNT
1. You may need to visit facebook(dot)com/hacked and follow the prompts

2. If your phone numbers and emails have been changed by the hacker, you'll need to go back to the last message that was sent to your email by Facebook concerning a login. Click on the link that says "click here if it wasn't you". If you no longer have access to that email, that may mean losing your account forever if you also don't have a legacy account.

I hope someone found this useful?

Boko boys don't like it when any soldier is praised for killing them........... You guyz should have allowed this man to continue laying low and be doing the lowkey fight......... This exposure is not good at all.

That's how Col. Abu Ali was brought to limelight with plenty showers of praises....... The next thing boko boys fell him.

[quote author=boiz2men post=74136191]This isn't about me.

You are giving this guy excuses. Excuses are the bottlenecks to success.

Soon, you will start saying its the govt.


I need not tell u what I have built or not.

He made a mistake in school by just cramming and passing. I make bold to say this guy can't code even the simplest "hello world".

Most developers don't want to work in a company. They prefer freelance. For a guy to dump CS to dress chicken shows he doesnt code.


One good reason I am not in inter switch and bigger firms is cos I didn't study comp sci (and someone has a first xclass in it)and their interview questions are about " algorithm and data structure " which I didn't know.




If that guy can code he won't be doing that, except for some publicity stunt.

I question the integrity of his grade and his institution. does it means he never acquired any ICT skill studying this course and all he can do is butchering? I hold Distinction in Comp SC with programming skills from a Federal Polytechnic and I earned enough as a student to care for myself and my siblings in school including driving a good car. How s it possible for anyone to achieve that grade without a skill in CS when u are expected to do lots of lab practical work. Don't discourage pple from studying one of the best courses in 21st century.
