Snakes
also resides in cities, so do they on the social media, specifically on
Facebook. I can tell because I have experienced it first-hand. A person, I
don’t know if a he or she, intruded and maneuvered into my Facebook account and
left a terribly rude comment on my girl friend’s post which lead her to PM me
and sent her disgust and hate to me for ‘posting’ that ill-mannered comment in
public. Though it wasn’t really my fault and I couldn’t ever remember
commenting such thing on her post, I still said sorry for my lapses and carelessness.
I then immediately took some security measures for my account, changed my
password and logged out my Facebook account in other devices thru a security
option in the website.
Here are some tips on how to keep
your Facebook account safe from hackers and intruders:
1.
Avoid
using public computers or shared devices in accessing your Facebook account.
You might leave
traces of your account’s information and with just a few clicks, somebody could
get into it and use your account for their greedy, personal reasons.
2. Secure
a security lock or passcode for your app and more importantly for your devices
( laptops, tablets, or smartphones)
It will help, if
in case you usually leave you gadgets unattended or somebody might steal them,
not to easily have access on your account or in any apps you have.
3. Don’t publicize all your personal information.
Limiting access to your personal information
will help you be less vulnerable to scammers and hackers. Also, don’t just
accept friend request from anyone whom you don’t know for extra safety
precautions.
4.
Change
your password from time to time and make sure only you knows about it.
What’s the use
of a password if somebody else knows it? It should be a top secret.
5.
Don’t
be careless.
Anything could
happen anytime so don’t be so sure about everything and let your guards down,
especially if it is about your safety.
