Tips on securing your Facebook account May 29, 2011 * Change the security settings to allow log-on notifications whenever a new device is used to access your account. That means you'll get a message if you - or someone else - logs onto your account from an unfamiliar computer. To enable log-on notifications, go to the drop-down box under Account on the upper right hand corner of your Facebook home page. * Don't click on strange links, even if they're posted by friends. * Use Facebook's new "mark as spam'' button to flag suspicious posts. This helps the company identify and block potential scams. "Mark as spam'' becomes visible when you left-click on the "X'' button next to each post. * Don't download any applications to Facebook that you aren't certain about. * If you're logging on over an unsecured network - like in a hotel or airport - use your cellphone to text "otp'' to 32665 to receive a password that is valid for a single log-on. Hackers often retrieve users' regular passwords over unsecured networks, so it's best to use a one-time-only log-on under such circumstances. * If you believe your Facebook account has been hacked, go to www.facebook.com/hacked to secure it. - SOURCE: Facebook © Copyright 2011 Globe Newspaper Company. _______________________________________________ Medianews mailing list [email protected] http://lists.etskywarn.net/mailman/listinfo/medianews
