Shy any online is in danger of being hacked, facebook has unique features that make this danger even more likely. For on thing, it is very common to post personal information which can be used to steal your identity. But the significant danger is because it is so easy to run malicious programs that can hack your account. In particular, be very careful using any application that ask to access your profile. Information exposed, but the persona information of all your friends as well. So, even if you don’t have anything sensitive your profile information, your friends might, every time you take one of those quizness on facebook, you are risking your information and that of your friends.



Prevention Techniques           
It is much easier to prevent  having your account hacked, than to recover from a hacked account. Here are some good security practices that you should keep in mind not only for facebook, but for any other website account you might have.
Don’t use internet explorer
            There are a lot of security problems with IE. I recommend that you use firebox or chrome instead. Other possible browsers are safari and opera.
            One of the nice things about firebox and chrome is all of the add-ons you can get some of the add- ons that I consider essential are:
·        Adblcok plus - you don’t see any ads
·        No script - won’t allow a website to run JavaScript unless you give it permission.
Since ads are suppressed, you are less likely to see dangerous links by blocking JavaScript on all the web site you trust, you are less likely to see dangerous links. Firebox will prevent cross-site linking, which is a practice that hackers use to insert dangerous code with regular looking links.
Never click on a Link 
Never click on link contained in any e-mail message or IM. Also, never type of URL directly into the address bar of your browser, when you get an e-mail with a link, don’t click on it. However, your mouse over the link and right –click the mouse, and select “copy link location” in firebox. Next, paste the link into google and click on search. You should see at the very top of search results the page you expected. If, however, you see comments about phishing, malware etc.  then you know not to go there.
If somebody tells you a URL to type into your browser, ignore them. Instead, type URL into the Google search bar and hit enter as above, you should see the page you were expecting. If not, then either you made a typo, the person giving the URL was wrong, or the site is dangerous.
The more a message encourages you to click on a link, the more you should not click on it. If you see something like “OMG!!! YOU MUST SEE THIS” that is a pretty good sing that the link is bogus. The same goes to “girl killed herself after her father posted this on facebook” or any similar message. And, of course,, “who is viewing your profile, click here to see” is a great link to avoid.
It is a common practice by malware writers to purchase domain names similar to valid site, especially commonly misspelled names. They then set up a website that looks the same as the real site. When you click on any link on the bogus site, you run the risk of downloading malware. These sites will also try to get the user to enter passwords or personal information.
Use a strong password                 
Find a balance between a password that is easy for you to remember and one that is hard to guess. It should have at least 6-8 characters, and should include letters and digits or possibly symbols. You should never use any that would appear in a dictionary, the names of your pets, spouse, kids, friends. Etc. there are several techniques you can use to do this.
  One trick is to make up a saying or phase and then use the first letter of each word, or possibly a symbol to represent the word. For example, let’s use the phrase “this is my secret password for facebook.” We could make the “t = msp4fb”. We could emphasize certain words to make the password even stronger. “This is my secret password for facebook” can become “T = msp4fb”
You can make up your own symbols for words, such as “=” for is or equals, “<” for less than, before, left etc and “>” for greater than, after, right, etc. there is a special language call leet that might give you some more ideas for symbols. If you use leet, you might want to type short words in leet symbols, some system might have problems with strange characters in the password field. Don’t use the same password for more than one site. At your password for any other site.
Don’t give out your password    
Of course, having a strong password doesn’t help if you give your password to others. Although you hopefully would not give your password to a stranger there are many ways in which malicious users can trick you into revealing your password. A common way is to create websites that look like legemate websites and when the victim attempts to log in, their user facebook offers a very snaky way of getting you to enter your user name and password: by offering to help you find your friends on facebook.
