Top Ways How Hackers Can Hack Facebook Accounts
1. Phishing
Phishing is one of the most popular techniques that are used by hackers to hack Facebook accounts. There are multiple ways of carrying out a phishing attack and the most common one is when a hacker creates a fake login page which looks like the real Facebook page. The victim thinks it’s the normal Facebook login page so he enters his login credential in phishing page. Once the victim has logged in to the fake page, the username, and password gets stored in hacker’s database.
To protect your account from Phishing :
- Make sure you are on facebook.com page and double-check the web address.
- Always use Chrome browser while login to facebook chrome as it identifies the phishing page.
- Never login your facebook account to an untrusted device.
- Avoid emails that ask you to log in your facebook account in the new tab.
- Never open any spam links given by someone.
2. Keylogging
Keylogging can sometimes be so dangerous that even a person having good knowledge of computers have fallen victim to it. A keylogger is a program that records the keystrokes on a computer. It will record everything victim types on his/her computer. The log may be saved to a file or even at times sent to another machine over a network or the internet.
This is how you can avoid keyloggers :
- Always download software from trusted sites.
- Scan your USB drives for the virus.
- Always install a good antivirus.
3. Mobile Phone Hacking
Millions of Facebook users access Facebook through their mobile phones. In case the hacker can gain access to the victims mobile phone then he can probably gain access to his/her Facebook account. There are a number of Mobile Spying software used to monitor a cell phone. The most popular Mobile Phone Spying software is Mobile Spy, and Spy Phone Gold.
To Protect yourself from Facebook Mobile Phone Hacking:
- Never install unknown apps on your phone.
- Always install a good antivirus on your mobile phone.
4. Session Hijacking
Session hijacking can be very unsafe if you are accessing Facebook on an HTTP (non-secure) connection. In it, a hacker steals the victim’s browser cookie, which is used to validate the user on a website and access the victim’s account. Session hijacking is extensively used on LAN and Wi-Fi connections.
5. Man In The Middle
If the victim and attacker are on the same LAN and on a switch based network, a hacker can place himself between the client and the server, or he could act as a default gateway and hence capturing all the traffic in between.
To avoid this 2attack:
- Use good antivirus with good firewall options.
- Use VPN services.
- Use a proxy server to access the internet
Mostly, hackers use these methods to hack facebook accounts, so, beware of these attacks and make sure you follow all the security rules needed to secure your Facebook account. Also, we will suggest you:> “Protecting Yourself: Less Is More” means you need to make smart decisions about what you put up on your Facebook profile. The less information you give out on Facebook for everyone to see, the more difficult you make it for hackers.

this just happened to me on my new android phone. I believe somebody in the area has hacked our Wi-Fi. getting a new phone didn’t help. would the Wi-Fi hacker need to be in my routers wifi area to first access my WiFi? like within 300 ft of router?
how does a victim remove this completely ? from android phone and from WiFi? I have some bssi device id numbers. I appreciate all comments instructions, etc thanks.
Dear Kim,
Don’t worry about all these things. You and your mobile are safe. Nobody can hack routers and wifi in simple steps. Only an expert or hacker can do this.
Please try to check all installed apps in your mobile phone by going to setting>Install apps. Even if you worry about it, please reset your phone and set up again.
Thanks for making a comment.
