HOW TO: Prevent Facebook Hackers

Posted by Amanda Walsh


If Facebook's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg had his Facebook account hacked, don't be fooled into thinking it couldn't happen to you. The NYTimes.com blog, Gadgetwise, recently posted an informative post about how to protect your Facebook account from hackers. 


There is a new feature that can be activated in your Account Settings to use a new encryption option when accessing your personal account. Here's how to do it.


1-Log in to Facebook.com
2-Go to Account Settings in the upper-right hand corner
3- Find Account Security (near the bottom) and click change
4- The first option should read, Secure Browsing (https)." Click the check box
5- Click Save


This protection is especially useful for anyone using public WIFI when surfing the Internet.
