Have you secured your Facebook personal profile against being hacked? A friend contacted me after experiencing a personal Facebook hack, which also put her Facebook business page at risk as her personal profile is connected to her business page. One of the best ways to secure your account is by enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). Here's why this matters for you and your Funeral home/business: ✅ Prevent Unauthorised Access: 2FA adds an extra layer of protection, making it significantly harder for unauthorised users to access your account. ✅ Safeguard Your Business’ Online Reputation: Your personal profile is linked to your business page. Securing your profile protects your business's online presence. ✅ Peace of Mind: Knowing your account is secure allows you to focus on providing compassionate service to your clients. Here are the steps via your Facebook app on your phone: 📲 Open the Facebook App and make sure you're logged into your personal account, not your business profile. 📲 Tap the Menu tab (shows your personal profile image) at the bottom of your phone screen. 📲 Scroll down and tap "Settings & Privacy" then tap "Settings". 📲 Select "Accounts Center" (this is where Facebook now manages security settings). 📲 Tap "Password and Security". 📲 Tap the "Two-Factor Authentication" section and select the account you want to secure. 📲 Follow the on-screen instructions to choose your preferred security method: Text Message (SMS): Receive a code via SMS, after entering the code, Facebook will confirm that Two-Factor Authentication is enabled for your account. Once you've turned on two-factor authentication, you can get 10 recovery login codes to use when you're unable to use your phone. If you haven’t set this up yet, I highly recommend doing so today. #FacebookTip #FuneralDirectors #FuneralIndustry #FITsocialmedia

The Wake-Up Call Every Social Media User Needs 🚨 One morning, I woke up to a nightmare my Facebook account was hacked. I felt helpless as strange posts flooded my timeline, and my friends started texting about weird messages they received from “me.” What followed was a rollercoaster ride of recovery, panic, and lessons learned This isn’t just my story; it could happen to anyone. Here’s what I did to regain control and how you can secure your account too. Discover more insights from Webstick Hosting. The Moment You Realize You’ve Been Hacked Hackers leave behind a trail of chaos. You might notice: Posts or messages you didn’t create. Friends texting, “Did you send this weird link?” Your email or password mysteriously changed. Alerts of logins from unknown devices. When these signs pop up, don’t panic — act. My Three-Step Emergency Response Plan 🚨 Here’s how I tackled the situation immediately: 1. Disconnect the Hacker I logged into Facebook and navigated to Settings > Security and Login. Under Where You’re Logged In, I hit Log Out of All Sessions. This forced the hacker out of my account. This step gave me temporary relief while I worked on locking things down. 2. Regain Control of My Account I used Facebook’s recovery tool: Headed to Facebook Recovery. Followed the steps to verify my identity. Reset my password with a long, random combination. 3. Secured My Email Since my email was linked to my Facebook account, it became my next focus: Changed my email password to something new and strong. Enabled two-factor authentication for extra protection. The Lessons I Learned the Hard Way Recovering your account is only half the battle. The real challenge is keeping hackers out for good. Here’s what I wish I’d known sooner: Stop Relying on a Single Password Hackers love easy targets. Using the same password across platforms is risky. I started using a password manager like Bitwarden to generate and store strong passwords. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) Everywhere This one change made me feel secure. Every time I log into Facebook (or other accounts), I now receive a code on my phone, making it almost impossible for hackers to access. What's one thing you can share as a lesson before the year ends? #WomenInTech #Developer #Bitwarden

📌 What if the hacker has already changed the email address and phone number for access? What steps to do to recover the Facebook account.. If a hacker has changed the email address and phone number associated with your Facebook account, recovering it becomes more challenging, but it's still possible. 1. Facebook allows you to select trusted friends who can help you regain access to your account. You can reach out to them and ask for their assistance in recovering your account. 2. Visit the Facebook Help Center and look for the "Report Compromised Account" option. Follow the instructions to report that your account has been hacked. Facebook will guide you through a series of steps to verify your identity and recover your account. 3. Facebook might ask you to provide some form of identification, such as a government-issued ID, to verify that you are the rightful owner of the account. Follow their instructions carefully and provide the necessary documents. 4. If you're unable to recover your account using the above methods, you can try reaching out to Facebook's support team directly. Explain your situation and provide any relevant information they may ask for. 5. While you're waiting to regain access to your account, it's essential to secure your other online accounts and take steps to prevent further hacking attempts. Change the passwords for any accounts that share the same or similar passwords as your compromised Facebook account. . . . . . Remember to be patient during the recovery process, as it may take some time for Facebook to verify your identity and restore access to your account. #facebook #recovery #account

𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐥, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 Do not use Facebook or Google to sign into other accounts. It’s estimated that we each have an average of 100 passwords. That’s a lot to remember, especially as we need unique logins for every site to lower our risk of cyberattack. Every website wants us to set up an account. It helps them get to know their users. They might also share the information with third parties as another source of income. Websites want to keep its users coming back, so they allow you to sign in with Google or Facebook accounts to streamline the process. Weigh the value of that added convenience against these three considerations. #𝟏 𝐘𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚 By using Google or Facebook to sign in on other websites, you are giving the sites greater access to information about you. Now, they not only know what you do on their sites, but you’re also allowing them to build out their picture of you with data insights from the shared sites. Google and Facebook have powerful tools to dig deeper into your online activity, and other websites can also extract data from your Facebook and Google accounts. If you don’t read the privacy policies, you may not know what sensitive data the platforms share. #𝟐 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 You may join those who are deciding to quit Facebook or leave Google in favor of another platform. If you do so, and you have used that account to access other sites, you'll have to create new logins. Even if you’re not ever going to do away with your Facebook or Google account, you could still lose access. If there's a major outage at one of those two sites, you won’t be able to log in at any of your connected sites either. The other websites won’t be able to authenticate you until Facebook or Google is back up and running. #𝟑 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐛𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐫 If you have one, unique login credential for a website, you risk your data there only if that site gets hacked. However, if you use Facebook or Google login, and bad actors compromise that account, they can access any shared sites. Think of it like dominos. The Facebook or Google account is the first to fall, but all those other accounts you “conveniently” login to using those credentials will come tumbling down soon after. Don’t think the attacker won’t bother looking for other connected accounts. All they have to do, once they breach one account is go into your settings to see what you have connected. Social media accounts are also a prime target. Don’t believe us? Bet you've seen a post from a Facebook friend (or ten) telling you to ignore strange activity due to a hacked account.

Click on "Continue" to save your new password. After changing your password, review your account’s security settings. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for an extra layer of security.

Embarrassing admission. My Facebook account got hacked. Like a lot of people I don't really use it anymore. Hackers changed the passwords and phone number last night -- when I set up my security it was before MFA was on Meta and I didn't worry about it much. It is just Facebook. Except now hackers are blocking people I know and trying to sell a used car? And it is a little embarrassing. I will secure the account with Facebook eventually. It will take time and be annoying and I will likely delete the whole thing eventually. What I did do immediately was check my other accounts. I changed my Google password (that account is so old I don't even know what is connected to it). I knew it had MFA but I checked it. I changed the password on my mother social media accounts -- including LinkedIn -- and made sure their MFA was enabled. And it wasn't everywhere. So for all my big talk about MFA -- I had the big accounts covered but not others -- we all make mistakes. So this is my reminder to go and turn on MFA on everything. Even stuff you think oh I won't care if that gets hacked. Your mom texting you about a car ad is embarrassing even if you don't use the account anymore. #MFA #smallbusiness #socialmedia #Security

Think your social media account is safe? Think again! If you’re seeing unusual posts, receiving strange messages, or getting locked out of your profile, it might be time to investigate. Learn how to spot the warning signs of a compromised account and safeguard your digital life! Several key indicators suggest your social media account might have been compromised. One of the most alarming signs is if you discover that your password has been altered without your consent, which strongly suggests unauthorized access. Additionally, if you notice strange posts or messages on your profile that you did not create, this could indicate that someone else is controlling your account. You should also be wary if friends or followers inform you that they have received odd messages from your account, particularly those that include links or solicit personal information. Keep an eye out for notifications regarding logins from unfamiliar devices or locations, as most social media platforms will alert you to any suspicious login attempts. An unexpected surge in friends or followers, especially from individuals you do not recognize, can also be a red flag. If you find yourself locked out of your account due to changes in your password or other details, this is a clear sign of potential compromise. Any unusual activity, such as alterations to your profile information, settings, or privacy preferences, should also raise concerns. Lastly, receiving emails from the social media platform about unauthorized access or modifications to your account is a serious warning sign. If you observe any of these warning signs, it is crucial to act swiftly to secure your account and protect your personal information. #SocialMediaSecurity #AccountSafety #CyberAwareness #DigitalSecurity #ProtectYourAccount #OnlinePrivacy #HackingPrevention #SocialMediaTips #AccountCompromise #PasswordSecurity #CyberThreats #DataProtection #SecureYourProfile #IdentityTheft #SocialMediaHacks #UserSafety #AccountRecovery #StaySafeOnline #CyberSecurityAwareness #SocialMediaManagement
