Last night I got a notification that a friend has posted on my wall. It was an explicit video.
I know this particular friend well enough to know that his account was compromised so I sent him a text message and worked with him to clean up his account.
So how do you stop this?
1. Have a strong password. “Clarence1” would meet most “strong” password requirements because it has an uppercase letter, and a number. But look at that… is that secure? You’ll actually find that a non-sense sentence is better to use: ISeeAYellowMoon is pretty hard to crack.
2. Make sure your security settings on Facebook are correct.
Go to the top right hand corner and hit the drop down and go to “account settings.”
Then go to the left hand side and hit “Security.”
This is a good set of basic steps you can take to protect your account and avoid the problems my friend had last night.
