8 Ways Your Facebook Account Can Get Hacked
1) Phishing
Phishing is by far the most popular and the most common attack. A phishing attack is truly confusing. The attacker can create a fake Facebook login page. The page looks real, and you log in. Then, your password and Email ID remain on that fake page and the attacker downloads them later (in the text format). So, you should never click on suspicious links, or you shouldn’t follow a spam email. Try to inspect your Facebook page every time you log in.
2) Keylogging
Passwords and email IDs are either saved on your browser or you have to type them. Now, keylogging is a program that can record all your key pressings. It’s an illegitimate program and it can target your computer and mobile phones. The attacker can get your ID and password through file transfer protocol (FTP). So, don’t download unknown software from unreliable websites.
3) Saved Passwords in Your Browsers
It’s not possible for us to remember all the passwords and IDs. So, most of us save our passwords in the browser. But anybody can visit your browser’s (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, etc.) settings and the person can view your saved passwords. So, try to safeguard your browser and stop visiting fraudulent sites.
4) Smart Phone Hacking
The majority of Facebook account holders use their mobiles to enter Facebook. Unfortunately, people don’t use their phones cautiously. They give their phones to strangers, and they download illegal apps. As a result, hackers install malicious software that lives stealthily on their phones. Thus, a Facebook account gets hacked.
5) Stealing Masked Passwords
You might think that masked (*******) passwords in your browser are safe. But, to a hacker, it’s not a big deal. A hacker would conduct certain subtle changes in your browser (inspect element). Then, everything will be clear to him as bright as daylight. That’s why don’t leave your computer when you have opened a sign-up page right in front of you.
6) WIFI Network Hacking
Hacking a WIFI network has become a child’s game these days. Hundreds of videos and tutorials are available on the internet. Anybody can learn from this content – how to hack WIFI networks. This means your router’s long password can get hacked anytime. Then, they can also steal your Facebook account details. Therefore, you should use VPN when opening your Facebook account. Moreover, you shouldn’t use public WIFI as they are not always secure.
7) DNS Spoofing
It’s a unique attack and it happens only if you are on the same network with the attacker. Using the DNS Spoofing method, an attacker can divert your original Facebook page traffic to a fake page. In this way, a hacker can easily exploit a Facebook account.
8) Session Hijacking
This is a dangerous attack, and this attack can successfully steal your Facebook account details. Every connection based on HTTP uses cookies to authenticate a user to the server. Now, a hacker steals the cookies and uses them to access your Facebook account. The server thinks the attacker is an authenticated user. So, don’t ever use a non-secure HTTP connection.
What Should You Do If Your Facebook Account Gets Hacked?
1) Inspect For Suspicious Activities and Gather Evidence
First of all, you have to know – what kind of activities are happening on your page. It could be fake posts, acceptance of unknown friend requests, altering your passwords and account details, or unauthorized messages. Try to gather evidence and search for every minute detail.
2) Report The Activities To The Facebook Authority
When you are sure about unauthorized Facebook account activities, it’s time to report it. You should select ‘report’ by clicking on your cover photo. Then, follow all the steps and Facebook will guide you to secure your account. Facebook may reverse your email address, or they may block the person who is impersonating you. Thus, Facebook is always ready to help you.
