How to fix malicious code that takes over Facebook account

If Facebook users are not careful when clicking on links containing malicious code, their personal accounts can easily be hacked and used for bad purposes.

Facebook users can check if their account has been hacked through Facebook's Where You're Logged In feature. This feature allows users to check if their personal account has been compromised. At the same time, it also provides solutions if the account is hacked.

To use this function, users go to Account Settings, select Security and select Where You're Logged In.

At this point, the user will see all the devices used and their locations when logged in. If a strange device or suspicious activity is detected, the user can select End Activity to remotely end that login session.

Users can check all devices and locations when logged into their Facebook account.

If the account is found to have been hacked, after blocking the activity of the strange device, the user needs to immediately change the new password. Next, the account owner should access the Facebook help page, select "I think my account was hacked or someone is using it without my permission", select Secure it and continue to follow Facebook's instructions to get back their account.

Although Facebook currently offers many tools to help increase security for user accounts, according to a cybersecurity expert in Ho Chi Minh City, users should proactively protect their accounts by limiting the download of pirated software and clicking on strange links to avoid risks.

Recently, many Facebook users in Vietnam have received messages containing links and their profile pictures. These messages contain malicious code that steals accounts.

These messages are sent directly from the victim's friends, just click on the link and all friends on Facebook will receive similar messages.
