The Facebook account, for those who actively use the social network, uploading photos, exchanging messages with friends and updating their status daily, has become very important and also full of personal details. All this information, often private, is not only important for online sellers always on the hunt for marketing data but above all they are the object of the desire of friends and lovers (or aspirants).
The closest and best known people are the ones to watch from, because getting hold of an account and reading the private messages exchanged on Facebook is even better than having the cell phone of the person to be spied on.
Stealing a Facebook account is seen as a game, not legally prosecutable, without too many risks of being reported.
For this reason, the security checks of the accounts have increased and, last week, a new function was introduced, very important, which allows everyone to know if there have been unauthorized access to their account .
Going then to the account settings (down arrow at the top right), you have to press on the link on the left: protection ".
To begin with, you can activate the email notification for unauthorized Facebook account access, from different computers or cell phones by clicking on the " access notifications " item.
Access approval enables the registration of known devices .
Below then, in the " active sessions " section, each open and active session is listed, detected according to the ISP or Provider that provides the internet connection.
By active session it is meant that, after logging in with username and password, you have not logged out and therefore you have not pressed the Exit button located in the Account menu.
Basically, in simple terms, you can see at what time and from where you last logged in to Facebook .
This means that if someone had stolen my password and logged into my account from their computer, if they did not end the session, I can see the time, place and browser used to enter.
If there was an unknown station or device, you can now press on " end activity " and immediately change the password.
At the same time, with this remote logout function, you can disconnect from Facebook wherever you are .
So if I logged in from the computer to work or at a friend's house, you can log out later, from your home PC.
If there are suspicions of external access, you can immediately terminate any activity, change the Facebook password and, for security, scan with programs like MalwareBytes to remove any malware and viruses that can transmit this information externally.
