Prevent Your Facebook Account From HACKERS


1. Always browse on secure connection Secure browsing in the sense it should be https://facebok.com instead of http:// facebook.com . There are many applications on facebook Security which will ask you to disable the “secure connection” but it is too risky to do that. If you are in any LAN connection or at any WIFI connection then your sessions can be hijacked in a easy manner using simple tools. So it is always recommended for you to browse on secure connection To enable you secure browsing go to Account settings > Security settings > Secure browsing ‘edit > and now tick the box there and click on “save changes” that’s it now you can browse on secure connection.

2. Enable login notifications
This is an interesting feature provided by facebook. If someone logins into your account than you will receive a text message to your mobile or email to your mail address. To enable your login notifications Go to go to Account settings > Security settings > Login notifications ‘edit. There you can select whether to get mobile notifications or email notifications or even both and finally click on save settings

3. Change your password regularly
Instead of using same password for many days it’s recommended to change your password frequently. IF someone came to know about your password then it will help you stop illegal access to your account.

4. Use strong password
Mobile number, girl/boy friends name, family members name, pet names are the most common things that the people used to keep for their accounts. Instead of keeping such week passwords, it’s better to use some strong password so that no one should even guess your password. Always make sure that your password should be combination of letter and numbers. So that it will be difficult for others to guess it.

5. Use different password for
facebook and email account. This is one of the huge mistakes that many of internet users will commit. If you use same password for many sites then if one get hacked then every account will also get hacked. In the case of facebook if you have same password for email account and facebook then it’s easy for the hacker to gain complete access to your facebook account for ever. So try to use different passwords for both email account and your facebook account.
