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

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.

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

***LOSING 15,000+ FOLLOWERS IN AN INSTANT*** This actually made me feel really sad 😢 I was chatting with a new friend yesterday and they were telling me how their facebook page had been hacked. The result was losing control of their very popular facebook page. This had a catastrophic impact on not only their social media reach and ability to connect with others... It also caused a dramatic impact on their income. Now, whether you're an established business owner, part time influencer or just getting your presence established, there are a few GOLDEN rules you must follow to avoid this happening... 1) Use a strong password for your facebook account. I know this sounds a bit "doh!" but hear me out. Easy passwords are great when you login, but they are far from great when it comes to your security. With social media being what it is now, using your kids name or birthday or anniversary is a glowing target for hackers to take over your account. Use a password that has a combination of letters, numbers and special characters (like * & % for example), will make it MUCH harder for people to take over your account. 2) Enable 2FA (two factor authentication). "Ummm...Paul, wtf is 2FA???" Fair question 😉 2FA is another layer of added protection you can add to your facebook account. Once you set it up, it will send you a text message to your phone, an email to your email address or a passcode to enter each time you login to facebook on a new device. That way, only you will be able to login to your account and no one else. I've included the link on how to do this in the first comment. 3) Don't ever EVER share your password with anyone. This should go without saying, but some people still do this as a "safety net". The better thing to do is add a "trusted contact" to your facebook. So, worse case scenario you do get hacked, those trusted contacts can verify to facebook who you are and you can get your account back. I'll include that link in the first comment too. So there you have it! Three simple steps you can take to ensure you keep control of your facebook account and minimise the risk of hackers taking over 😉 Let me know in the comments if you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them 😀

How to use social media more safely: Scammers often use personal details from profiles to access other accounts. For example, finding your pet's name or high school on Facebook can help them answer common security questions. Here are some tips to keep your accounts secure: 1. Be cautious with follower requests. Accepting requests from strangers can expose your personal information. If you’re growing your following, use privacy filters to control what different groups can see. 2. Regularly review your privacy settings. Social networks update their settings periodically. Check your privacy preferences, especially after policy changes, and review permissions for third-party apps. Disconnect any apps you no longer use to avoid risks if they get hacked. 3. Use strong, unique passwords. A hacker with one password could access multiple accounts. Always create unique passwords and enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) for extra security. Think of MFA as a key that works with your password lock. 4. Follow the SLAM method for suspicious messages. For unsolicited messages, verify the sender, check links by hovering over them, avoid unexpected attachments, and scrutinize the content. If something seems off, report it to help keep the community safe.

One of my friends nearly lost 14,000 followers! Imagine logging into your social media account one day only to find it's been hacked! Your followers are confused, your business is in jeopardy, and there’s nothing you can do. 😡 This happened to a friend of mine last week—luckily, we got her account back just in time! But it could happen to anyone. Here are 3 simple tips to secure your accounts and avoid this nightmare! 🔒 1️⃣ Use a Secure Password No more easy-to-guess passwords like your child’s name with a “1” at the end! 😂 Aim for 12 characters, mixing upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and special symbols. Avoid personal info like birthdates or pet names. 🐶 2️⃣ Enable Two-Factor Authentication 2FA is like an extra lock on your account. Even if someone has your password, they’ll need a second key, like a code sent to your phone. Apps like Duo Mobile make it super easy! ✅ 3️⃣ Secure Your Email Your email is the gateway to all your accounts. If a hacker gets in, they can reset your passwords! Make sure your email has a strong password and don’t use the same one across accounts. 📲 Take 15 minutes this week to secure your accounts—it’s just as important as your social media strategy! 💡

If you generate revenue from social media, account security is vital to your business. Here are 7 ways to increase the security of your social media accounts: 1. Activate 2-factor authentication – think of 2FA as your digital bodyguard. Even if someone possesses your password, your account can’t be breached. 2. Use a strong password – platforms give you this suggestion for a reason. Use a mix of letters, numbers and symbols. 3. Review your account activity – interactions on socials are plentiful and rapid. It's easy for anomalies to go unnoticed. But you can spot deviations from your normal account activity. 4. Be discreet with your location – Whenever you geo-tag a post, you reveal a piece of your life. Detailed insights into personal routines are goldmines for online attackers. 5. Be up-to-date – Active, continuous learning is your guide to potential digital pitfalls. Stay up-to-date by following blogs and newsletters on social media security. 6. Always log out from shared devices – Using shared devices openly invites anyone to gain control of your account. Make it a habit to log out after each session. 7. Use social media security tools – Spikerz ensures your content, interactions, data and therefore, your business, are safe from attackers. #socialmediasecurity #socialmedia 

🛑 Important Security Alert - My Instagram Account Got Hacked! Hey everyone, I’m reaching out because my Instagram account was recently hacked, and I’m having a lot of trouble regaining access. Here’s what happened and where I'm currently stuck: 1. The hacker has changed my account details, added their email, and probably disabled or altered the username. Now, my profile shows as “Instagram User.”    2. My phone number and email are still associated with the account, so I tried using the "My account got hacked" recovery option. After entering my username, I get an OTP via email, but after that, I hit a roadblock - it’s asking for two-factor authentication through backup codes or an authenticator app, which I don’t have set up. 3. The next step offers two options for verification:   - *Face Recognition*: This just keeps looping me back to the login page.   - *Friends’ Help*: I’ve tried this several times, but my friends aren’t receiving the verification notifications. If anyone has experienced this before or has suggestions on how to proceed, I’d really appreciate any advice! This is incredibly frustrating, and I'm running out of ideas. Thanks for any help you can provide!
