Most of them are confused between deleting and deactiving their Facebook
Account.Deactivationg is completely different from deleting your
account permanently. But deactivating and deleting a facebook account is
not the same. Deactivating means staying away from your account and all
your photos,updates,activities will be there as usual and you can
reactivate it whenever you want to. Deleting a facebook account means
earasing everything that is already existing in you facebook account
like phtos,videos,updates etc. Permanently deleting a facebook account
url is not available readily. It is not visible easily because it doesnt
exist in your account settings/options.It exists in facebook help and
very difficult to replace it with your profile link.So click the
following link that will be redirected to delete facebook account page.
Login to your account then click this link DELETE ACCOUNT

Facebook
is, undoubtedly, the most popular social networking website with more
than 500 million active users. Due to its popularity, many hackers (or
should I say crackers?) are actively involved in hacking Facebook
accounts of unsuspecting users. This article outlines the many
strategies that such hackers use to gain access to Facebook accounts of
hundreds of users each day and how you can stop them from hacking your
account. Facebook is one of the prime target of hackers!
Email Address Hack
I have always been puzzled by Facebook's
leniency in this matter. All a hacker needs to do is know your email
address and he will be displayed a confirmation showing your name even
if he enters the wrong password. How easily a hacker can then hack your
Facebook account if he 'guesses' your password (if you use a weak
password) or answers your security question! This is something I hope
Facebook improves on quickly. Until Facebook does so, here are some
tricks you can use to protect yourself from this vulnerability.
How to safeguard your Email Address? Just follow these steps:-
Hide
your Email Address from everyone by going to Edit Profile>Contact
Information>Clicking on the icon beside your email address>
checking 'Only Me'.
Change
your primary email address to a one that is only known to you by going
to Account Settings>Email> and changing your primary email to the
new one (known only to you) and removing your previous email address.
For
additional security, when in Account Settings, check 'Secure browsing'
and 'Send me an email when a new computer or mobile device logs into
this account' and click Save.
A hacker at work!
Phishing
Phishing
is one of the easiest ways to trick users into giving out their login
credentials. All a hacker does is setup a webpage similar in design to
that of the Facebook homepage, attach a server sided script to track the
username and password entered and store it in a log. Sending people
emails stating that someone tagged a photo of them on Facebook in the
same format as Facebook and
giving a link below to the phishing website further reduces the chances
of it being detected as a fake. Sometimes, spam Facebook apps, like
those promising to tell who viewed your Facebook profile, automatically
post links to phishing websites. A new trend amongst phishers is
creating Facebook look-a-like widgets for stealing user's login
credentials.
How to prevent yourself from being phished? At
all costs, avoid clicking on suspicious links. Moreover, always check
the URL in the address bar before signing in. Avoid logging in through
various "Facebook widgets" offered by websites and blogs. Instead, use
Facebook's homepage to sign in. Always try to use Safe Search while
searching. If you do manage to get phished, reportthewebsite so that others may get a warning before visiting it.
Keylogging through Keyloggers
Keylogger
is a type of computer virus that tracks key strokes. Keyloggers can be
installed remotely on a computer system by a cracker to record all the
activity that is going on the victim's computer. Keylogging gets more
easy if the hacker has physical access to the victim's computer.
How to stop keyloggers? Install
a good antivirus and update it frequently. Do not click on suspicious
links and avoid downloading illegal software. Also, avoid installing
free toolbars and other such spam software. Always scan third-person's
flash and pen drives before using them on your computer.
Social Engineering
Social
engineering involves using any trick to fool the user into making
himself vulnerable to exploits. This could involve anything from sending
spoof emails, pretending to be from Facebook, telling you to change
your password to 12345678 to a hacker maliciously getting out the answer
to your Security Question in a friendly chat or discussion.
How to prevent yourself from being socially engineered? Stay
aware during chats and discussions. Use a tough security question,
preferably one whose answer you would never disclose to anyone.
Moreover, Facebook, or any other company for that matter, will never ask
you to change your password to 12345678 or do something as silly as
asking you to send out your login details to prove that you are an
active user. Always think before taking actions and your e-life on
Facebook will be safe from hackers looking to hack Facebook accounts.
