Secure your facebook account
Here are a few things you can do to keep your account safe:
Think before you click.
Never click suspicious links, even if they come from a friend or a company you know. This includes links sent on Facebook (ex: in a chat or post) or in emails. If one of your friends clicks on spam they could accidentally send you that spam or tag you in a spammy post. You also shouldn't download things (ex: a
.exe
file) if you aren’t sure what they are. Learn more about recognizing suspicious emails.
Be wary of fake Pages and apps.
Watch out for Pages promoting offers that are too good to be true. If in doubt check to see if a Page is verified. Also be mindful when you install new apps. Sometimes scammers use bad apps to gain access to your Facebook account.
Don't accept friend requests from people you don't know.
Sometimes scammers will create fake accounts to friend people. Becoming friends with scammers allows them access to spam your Timeline, tag you in posts and send you malicious messages. Your real friends may also end up being targeted.
Pick a unique, strong password.
Use combinations of at least six letters, numbers and punctuation marks and don't use this password for any of your other accounts. You can also use a password safe like LastPass, KeePass or 1Password to set and remember unique passwords for your account. Learn how to change your password.
