We have a variety of information on our Facebook account. We don't want anyone to know this information. But hackers can often find out information about your Facebook by using various tricks.Did you know that someone is using your account? How to turn it off? I will tell you some tricks about him.
Ways to recognize hackers
Many people think that it is difficult to identify a hacker. But experts have suggested some simple tricks to identify hackers. These strategies are-
First open Facebook. Then go to the three-line menu. Now click on 'Settings and Privacy' option. Now select the 'Settings' option. Then scroll down a bit and select the 'Security and Log-in' option. You will now see the text ‘Where are you logged-in’ coming from. Clicking on the ‘C-All’ menu on the right side of the screen will see the history of your account usage. This means that the devices you have used to login to Facebook can be seen. If you see an unfamiliar device while viewing login history, assume your account has already been hacked. This means that your Facebook account is under someone's control.
Experts say there are two reasons for this. The first is that you may have logged into Facebook on a familiar person's device, but later forgot to log out. Now he's probably taking his chances. And secondly, maybe some unknown hacker has hacked your Facebook with malicious intent. What to do if this happens to your account?
What to do if the account is hacked
If your Facebook account is hacked by someone, log out of the device that seems unfamiliar in the login history. How?
There is a three-dot menu on the right side of the device, click there. Now two options will come at the bottom. One is secure login, the other is logout. You will select the 'Log out' option. As a result, you'll be logged out of the device where your account was logged in.
Now you will see the ‘Log-out of All Sessions’ option at the very bottom. If you click on it, all the places where your account is logged in will be logged out. Then you need to log-in to different devices as required.
What to do to prevent hacking?
To prevent the account from being hacked, technology experts have suggested two things to do. These two things are-
First job
Click on the three-line menu. Now scroll down and click on 'Settings and Privacy' and select the 'Settings' option. Go to the 'Security and Login' option. Then scroll down to see the 'Get Alerts About Unregistered Login' option. Click here. Now you will get three options - notifications, messages and e-mail address. You have to choose any one. However, experts suggest, it is better to keep these 3 options on. It will let you know if someone tries to hack your account.
If your e-mail address has not been added to Facebook, add it by clicking 'Add e-mail address' above.
The second work
Experts say that 'two-factor authentication' is the most effective setting for protection against hacking. Go to the 'Security and Log-in' option and you will see three settings - Authentication app, Text message (SMS) and Security key. The easiest and most effective option is text message (SMS). So you need to select the 'Text Message (SMS)' option and click on the 'Continue' button
. Now you have to give a phone number. Which you are using now. Then Facebook will send you the verification code to this number.
If you don't have a phone number on Facebook, add it by clicking on the 'Add Phone Number' option below. Now click on the 'Continue' button. Now a code will be sent to your number from Facebook. Enable 'Two-Factor Authentication' of your account.
If you have two-factor authentication, hackers will not be able to log in even if they know your password.Facebook will send a code to your phone number to let you know that someone has tried to hack your account.
