Facebook has been hacked again. And who is really surprised. It has become such a part of many lives, that another Facebook flaw probably isn’t going to drive many people away from using it.
How can you protect yourself?
There are a few simple things you can do.
- Do not use Facebook to log into other applications. Whenever you goto a website and it asks if you want to use Facebook to login, SAY NO! Create an account instead.
- Change your password. I know this seems very obvious, but you can not change your password frequently enough. You should change it at least every 30-90 days. And of course, after we receive news of another Facebook flaw, change it again.
- Occasionally, goto your Facebook settings and check what devices are logged in and from where. It is a good idea to just boot all connections whether you know them to be good logins or not. When you are logged into Facebook, goto Settings/Security and Login/Where You’re Logged In. Once you expand this list, at the bottom, there is an option to “Log Out of All Sessions”.
