How to Hack A Facebook Account
And How To Protect yourself From Hackers
Please take note that this is for educational purposes only and
not to be used as a means to scam or attack other facebook
users. The reason I am sharing this is because I want you to be
aware that your FB account can be hacked and how you can
protect yourself from it. Also, there are so many fake so-called
“hacking tools” that are actually coded to appear as if it is
attacking and retrieving facebook passwords from an email you
provide. But in reality, it is impossible to hack facebook
directly. Meaning a simple visual basic program (usually used by
wanna be hackers) cannot, in any way, penetrate the highly
secured database of facebook. I can easily write those fake
programs in less than 2 minutes and it would appear to be real
but is only doing some visual effects to let the user believe it is
hacking facebook.
There are other ways however that a facebook account may be
hacked, and your account is no exception. This includes some
clever program that retrieves all passwords and emails from a
specific computer. This kind of program is most effective when
used in public computer shops like public internet cafes or
public libraries and similar places. You simple run the program
and it retrieves all files logged in to facebook.
That why it is most advised to avoid using your facebook account
especially in public places where one computer is used by
several persons in one day. If you really feel the need to open
your account in such places, make sure to run a keylogger
detector program. Then you must always clear the browser
cookies before logging in and after logging in to your facebook
account.
You can download a sample program here

email and download it whenever you need to use it in a public internet café or public library)
Aside from protecting your FB account, keylogger also protects
all your email login details. Not to mention your login info to
your favorite online games
The other trick to hack a facebook account is through the use of
a fake login page. Here is a sample email that you might
receive from a hacker:
Sub: Invalid activity on your facebook account
Body:
Dear facebook user (victim's facebook user name),
Recently we saw some suspicious activity on your account, we
suspect it as a malicious script. As a valuable user to us we
understand this might be system error, if the activity is not
generated by you then please log-in to your account by following
link,
<link to fake login site>
Failing to log-in within next 48 hours Facebook holds right to
suspend your account for sake of privacy of you and others. By
logging in you'll confirm it is system error and we will fix it in no
time. Your inconvenience is regretted. Thank you.
support@facebook.com,
Facebook, Inc,
1601 S.California Ave
Palo Alto CA 94394
US
So in this email, a person that is not security conscious might
quickly click on the link and login. Unfortunately, the login link
is not facebook.com/login.php but some other website. That
login details are then stored and your account compromised.
An even trickier strategy is to share some scandal video on the
wall that creates intrigue to friends, so convincing that they
need to see that particular scandal. The video however is only
viewable upon share. So when you are asked to log-in so that
you can share the video, you are instead logging into a fake
page that looks exactly like facebook interface and thus your log
in details in the hands of the hacker.

So as a lesson, always make sure to check the browser bar
whenever you are asked to login to your facebook account. If
the browser bar is not FACEBOOK.COM/LOGIN.PHP and some
other site like OTHERSITE.COM/LOGIN.PHP, NEVER EVER login!
So that your account details and your facebook account will not
be hacked.
