How to protect your Facebook account from being hacked


Lately, the incidence of Facebook account hacking is increasing. 60 percent of the Facebook-related complaints that come to the Cyber Bureau of Nepal Police are related to Facebook hacks.


Security experts say that accounts are usually hacked due to the weakness of social media users. Not keeping a strong password in Facebook account, not turning on two factor authentication, clicking unnecessary links are the main reasons for account hacking.



Today we are giving information on how to strengthen your Facebook account to prevent it from being hacked. Facebook has provided a privacy checkup feature for years to see how secure your account is. With its help, you can make your Facebook account secure in no time.


Here's how to secure your Facebook account:



- First of all, open the Facebook app on your mobile.


-Then click on the three lines next to the profile picture on the top right.


-Then, scroll down and select the option of Setting & Privacy.


-Then go to Privacy Shortcuts option.


- All the settings required to keep the account safe are included in the option of the said privacy shortcut. However, you can find out what can be changed in your account to make it more secure. For that, go to the option of 'Take a Privacy Checkup' (Take a Privacy Checkup).


Who sees what you share?


After going through the privacy checkup, the first thing you should see is, 'Who can see what you share?'


Hackers can guess the password you have with the help of little things you share on your Facebook. Therefore, the posts or other things you share on Facebook should be visible only to the people you are connected with.


Go to the option of 'Who can see what you share' under 'Privacy Checkup' to show your post only to people connected with you.


- After that, a page with information about your profile, posts and stories, tagged posts and blocked accounts will open.


-If you click on the 'Continue' button at the end, you will be given the option of who sees your phone number, who sees your date of birth, who gets information about what you do, who sees friends and followed accounts, who sees the pages you like. .


On the right side of it, almost all the options are public. This means that anyone can see all the information shown on that page. For that, you can only select the option that you want to show to whom. Generally, it is appropriate if you select the option of 'Only Me' or 'Friends' in this information.


- Then finally click on the 'Next' button on the right.


- It also has the option of who will be the default audience and who will see the story. Select the Friends option in Default Audience. You can also select the option of friends in stories.

- After doing this, finally press the next button on the right. It shows the people you blocklisted. If you want to block someone, you can choose that option.


- Now press the next button again. If this happens, everything under your privacy is understood to be fine. Then tap on the Review Another Topic button.
