Lately we hear news about attack our Facebook account around us. How this can happen? While most of us have been very trust social networking service in this day-to-day communication. Then, at least the next question is how do we secure the Facebook account of this threat.
In the following steps are anticipated to be taken to secure our Facebook account.:
- Avoid Login http://www.facebook.com through, as this page is not encrypted. Your login information is encrypted, but because the login form is in a frame, the user can not see whether or not all encrypted.
- Make the process of your login page: https://login.facebook.com/login.php?Login_attempt=1 .You can ensure that the login you would secure the right to check the bottom of the browser to display the ‘lock signed’.
- Login Do not continue the process if there is a danger warning (security alert). You can immediately stop the process that are ‘not safe’ with key ‘ESC’.
- Do not forget to always do Logout from your Facebook account. With only turn off the browser without the Logout process, means that you have to leave ‘session’ for you to access other people. Therefore it is important to always make you Logout.
- Do not work to the right as the system administrator.This will be very dangerous if you open the email, images and documents with the practice administrator account, as this will open the possibility for cyber criminals to take over your computer.
- Vigilant against Malicious Facebook Widget. Widget or application can provide additional opportunities for the author to work in coding the program to access important information from the target computer. Until now, there are two types of Malicious Facebook Widget is reported that the Facebook users, and the Secret Crush Error Check System.
- Be careful in selecting a computer for use. If your computer to use a public or keep changing the computer, such as rental or in Internet cafe, then you should be careful in selecting and practice. This is not a guaranteed maximum security update from the computer. While the computer has been infected Koobface Worm, or Keylogger can steal user data and its password.
- Be careful in selecting the network connection Wi-Fi Internet. Only the Facebook login process handle encrypted SSL / TLS (https). Meanwhile cookies Facebook will very easily be taken from the air (through the Wi-Fi Internet connection). Wi-Fi protected with a WEP encryption that can be easy to break down within 10 minutes. Currently, anyone can easily create any hotspot and provide free-access to you. But you must carefully with access level of security is offered, because access to the Facebook network connections that are not protected,Its mean you giving your data for free.
- Think about security issues before you make a click on the ‘Wall’. Post on the Wall is a way Koobface dissemination or other malware, so you should be careful access.
- The latter is how we will increase awareness of safety hazards on Facebook is the people around us. Due to the increasing awareness in the people around us will also support our security.

- Use strong passwords. The names of yourself, your spouse, parents, siblings or dog, or your birthday, do not qualify. Use a mix of letters, digits and punctuation (but not blank spaces). Use both capital and lowercase letters. The longer your password, the better. The shorter your password, the easier it is to hack, especially if it’s a common word or name. A good starting point is six characters, though 8, 10 or 12 are even better. If you have trouble remembering, do something about that, else consider using an unusual phrase or combo of words that only you or a few people might know, then substitute some of the letters with digits and/or punctuation. Humorous combinations might make it easier to remember, but otherwise write your password down in a SAFE place. Or just keep using the “Forgot password?” option to reset your password.
- Change your password regularly. By regularly I mean monthly or even weekly, not yearly. Facebook’s “Forgot password?” option is one way, or you can go to your account’s settings.
- Don’t friend everyone. That “hot chick” whom you don’t know and looks like some Hollywood starlet might be a guy. Avoid the person who doesn’t even have a profile pic, let alone any friends in common with you. If you haven’t met them, be cautious. Also, don’t friend friends whom you know to use weak passwords. If their account is compromised, hackers can still learn certain things about you from your profile, or could send you a message via the friend’s account to lure you to a malware site.
- Don’t believe all emails. Don’t forget that honest web services will never ask you to do certain things in an email. For example, Facebook will NEVER send you an email asking you to change your password or enter personal details. If they need you to do that, they will tell you where in your account settings you can go to do that. On a similar note, protect your email account that you registered for Facebook with, else someone can succeed in resetting your Facebook password.
