Facebook is, undoubtedly, the most popular social networking website
with more than 500 million active users. Due to its popularity, many
hackers (or should I say crackers?) are actively involved in hacking
Facebook accounts of unsuspecting users. This article outlines the many
strategies that such hackers use to gain access to Facebook accounts of
hundreds of users each day and how you can stop them from hacking your
account.
I have always been puzzled by Facebook's
leniency in this matter. All a hacker needs to do is know your email
address and he will be displayed a confirmation showing your name even
if he enters the wrong password. How easily a hacker can then hack your
Facebook account if he 'guesses' your password (if you use a weak
password) or answers your security question! This is something I hope
Facebook improves on quickly. Until Facebook does so, here are some
tricks you can use to protect yourself from this vulnerability.
