Today I will discuss all those methods. And also will give a few tips on how to protect your facebook account from being hacked.



Phishing Attach

Phishing attack is the most common method of Facebook hacking. In this attack, you are sent to a website which is a copy of Facebook. When you type your email id and password in the fields, those credentials are saved in a separate text file without giving any information to the Victim.

Protection:- Whenever you open facebook, may sure to see the URL bar. It should behttps://www.facebook.com and not fakeweb.com or something else.

Keylogging

Keylogging is the easiest way Facebook accounts are hacked. Even a person with good computer knowledge can fail to notice keylogging. The keylogger installs itself silently in the victim’s computer while another software is being installed.

Protection:- Always install software from verified publishers and well reputed websites and never install useless software like, “facebook hacker tool” or something like that. You will never be able to hack someone’s account using those software and instead your account will get hacked.

USB Hacking

Hacking via a malicious USB can be used to cause all kinds of mayhem. You can get all the passwords the victim saved in their computer and web browser using USB Hacking.

Protection:- Never trust unknown removable devices.

Man-In-The-Middle Attack

If the hacker and the victim are on the same network, then this attack can be performed. The attacker acts as a default gateway between the victim’s computer and the server and gets all the information which the victim is sending to the server. This is possible over HTTPS by establishing two independent SSL sessions, one over each TCP connection.
