TRENDING FACEBOOK-HACK BY HACKERS

And How To Prevent Being Hacked

What is Two-factor Authentication (2FA)?

2FA is one of the security features that helps protect your FB account in addition to your password. On setting up 2FA, you will be required to enter a special security code that will be sent to your phone number (the one you used for the setting up of the 2FA)  each time someone or yourself tries logging into your FB account from a new Computer, Mobile device or a device you don’t recognize.

There are about six 2FA security features employed by facebook, such as: Text Messege, Security Keys, Code Generator, Recovery Codes, App Passwords etc. But what we would talk about is on the Text Message Security feature, which is the best and easiest to me.

How You Are Hacked:

A youtube video is sent to you with a Caption/Title such as, "Nine-Ninety is this video yours? 314,789 views". This will kick you off your feet to find out what video it is. You will then be asked to Login with your Facebook details (username and password) before you can watch...this is where you ignorantly give them access to your account(that is if you log in).

How To Prevent Yourself From Getting Hacked:

1. Never trust or open any App or Video that demands you Log In into your account with your FB Details.

2. Don't accept friends you do not know on FB

How To Regain Permanent Access To Your Account If You Have Already Been Hacked:

1. Clear your Computer or Phone’s Cache immediately you find out your account is hacked

2. Change your Password

3. Go to your FB Account Settings and enable 2FA (2 Factor Authentication) with a phone number you can easily get back anytime you loose your account. This is to make sure you don't lock yourself out of your account if your SIM gets lost or missing. 2FA is a setting that gives you access to your FB Account Only after you have Logged in with your Password and a Code that would be sent to your phone number. 

4. As a way for you to be able to retrieve your account whenever you forget your password, facebook gives you the chance to choose three friends whom they would send 3 different codes to so you can unlock your account.

When hackers hack your account, they add three of their personal accounts which they can always send the codes to, to gain access to your account even when you change your password.

Therefore go to your friends list and Unfriend anyone you are not sure you added or accepted as a friend.
