“Is that you in this video?”, “It looks like you!”, These are the messages sent by hackers to the messenger contacts of already scammed users. When you click on these links, several techniques are used to recover the passwords and personal data of Internet users.
Users are sent to a malicious site which then asks them to enter their Facebook password to play the video sent. But the hackers – or rather their algorithms – are hidden behind and recover this sensitive data. They can then connect to their Facebook account and start the maneuver again.
A Facebook security tool
The modern Internet juggernaut has introduced a more secure two-way authentication method. In addition to the password to enter, a code that is renewed every 30 seconds is sent to your phone to ensure that you are not impersonating someone.
To activate this security option, simply go to the “security and connection ” From Facebook.
