Hack Proof Your Facebook Account Now!
“Oh Crap! My facebook account has been hacked! Oh, the Caps Lock was on..:P”
I hear you saying been there, done that. But it is just a matter of time your Facebook account is hacked. I am not saying that it is happening, my point is that it might just happen and you won’t be able to do anything about it then. Though there are two things that you can do right now. First, keep a strong password. Something like ABC!#%&)@$^*). Remembering it is.n’t difficult because it has a pattern ABC in Caps and then press down shift and press 13579 followed by 24680 (keeping shift pressed). So your password actually turns out to be ABC1357924680, first odd numbers and then even. Simple. Nice, right?
Another thing that you can do is use a feature which has been on Facebook for the past couple of months. The feature that I like to call the MouseTrap. It is not anything like a mouse trap (literally and non-literally both). It tells you when someone logged into your Facebook account by sending a mail at the time of log-in (and a computer name which it asks to the user who logged-in) and sending a message to your mobile (if opted for). It isn’t actually what you would call a firewall or not even something that can make your account hack proof but it is still a feature which adds another security layer. (*firewall?, seriously? Pulkit you’ve gone mad!*
To enable this feature click here https://register.facebook.com/editaccount.php?ref=mb&drop . Make sure are logged into your Facebook account before clicking the link.
Next time someone logs-in to your Facebook account, you will get to know about it.
Now scroll down to the 2nd last option,Account Security, and click change.
The page shows you the places (computer name,not address) where you are currently logged in. It gives you the option of ending any session remotely. The page also shows you the last 20 or so Computer names that logged into your account. To enable login Notifications click On under login notification and under Notification Method choose mobile also if you want to (I suggest yes).
Now anytime you or anyone logs-in to your account from a computer on which your account is not usually used, Facebook will send you an E-mail and an SMS (if you want, that is) right away so that you can either change your password or end the session of the hacker or take the necessary action.
Enter computer name before logging in on Facebook
Very interesting information. It’s good to see a company that takes pride in being so transparent with their process. One question I had though, can you explain your stance on Interlinking? The chart legend says you “employ this strategy carefully,” but what does that mean? What situations would you consider acceptable in which to use this technique?
Beautifully written and informative. Is some of this excerpted from a book chapter? (Should be, if not.)
Hello, Neat post. There’s a problem along with your web site in web explorer, might test this? IE nonetheless is the market leader and a huge component of folks will pass over your wonderful writing due to this problem.
And now everyone knows that password..
@akshatb, boy you can really do that? Facebook says it is 'impossible to hack' and getting through once is okay but how can you have access after the password is changed?
Yes, he can hack Facebook accounts. Even I can do that. The success rate is not 100% but in most cases it is possible.
I have my ways. They're so darn neat, and effective, that I don't share them publicly
@Pulkit: Tera karun?
Sure, go ahead
As if this will help. I know a trillion ways I can hack someone's id in such a way that:
a) they wont come to know
b)even if they come to know AND change their password I will still have access
c) the computer name wont show up above
So yeah, happy eyewashing!
I know this is a bit lame but in the long run it does help.
