How to Protect Your Web Accounts from Being Hacked
1 : Have a secured Facebook account. This is only provided for those who want to sign-up for Facebook. Use your original identity and information to sign-up for an Facebook account. Follow all of the account verification processes provided to make your account secure.
2 : Keep your password secure. Do not share it with anyone, do not store it in your mail inbox or anywhere on Facebook or online. Don't share your password with friends. If you log on at a cybercafé or similar, always remember to log right back off when you finish (better yet, don't use a public computer at all).
3 : Be really careful if using pubic access computers for Facebook, Twitter, etc. If possible, avoid checking your social networking accounts on anything but your own devices. But if you have no choice, consider the following:
- Never click "keep me logged in", or similar long-term access checks, when entering the site.
- Be aware of who is around you when you key in your password. Cover the keys if you feel safer.
- Be discreet and don't attract attention while using the site. Curiosity can lead some people to want to fiddle just because...
- Always remember to log out when you're done. Just get into the habit of going through a list in your head of "log in, do not check stay logged in, log out" when using public access devices.
