FIVE WAYS TO PREVENT YOUR FACEBOOK ACCOUNT FROM GETTING HACKED

on Thursday, May 17, 2012









You are all aware that now a days,Hacking Played a Major Role in Facebook and Orkut Accounts.
I have some tips for avoiding Facebook Hacks:


  • USE STRONG PASSWORDS
The Name of Yourself,Spouse,Parents,Siblings,Dog,or your Birthday do not Qualify.Use a Mixture of Digits,Letters combination.Use Both Lower and Capital Letters.
The longer your Password,the Better.


  • CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS REGULARLY
By Regularly,I mean By monthly or Weekly, not Yearly.


  • DON'T FRIEND EVERYONE
That Hot Chick whom you don't know and Looks Like some Hollywood starlet might be a guy.Avoid the person who doesn't even have a Profile Pic,let alone any friends in common with you.If you haven't met them,be Cautious.

  • DON'T CLICK ON LINKS WILLY-NILLY
If you click on a Status Update that a Friend posted on you Wall and it looks Fishy,dont assume they actually did it.Their account could be compromised.If your clicking takes you to a Facebook Application that you're Unsure of,there's no obligation to click through.

  • DON'T BELIEVE ALL E MAILS
Don't Forget that Honest web services will never ask you to certain things in an email.For example,Facebook will never send you an email asking you to change your password or enter Personal Details.If they need you to do that,they will tell you where in your Account settings you can go to do that.On a similar Note,Protect your email account  that you registered for Facebook with,else someone can succeed in Rsetting your Facebook Password.
