How can you be safe from phishing on facebook. Remember,Facebook will never ask for your password in an email, Facebook message, or any medium that isn’t the login page. Though you will need to re-enter your password when you set a security question, change your contact email, or send a virtual gift. *.Be extra aware of weird Wall posts. Don’t click on any links—on a Wall or elsewhere—if you don’t know where they go. Set a security question for yourself on your Account page. If somehow something malicious shuts you out of your account, you will need the answer to that question in order for our User Operations team to let you back in. (If you’ve already set your security question, you won’t see a prompt for it on your Account page.) Be extra aware of what website you are using to log in to Facebook(and other websites). Phishing websites can be made to look like other websites (like the Facebook log in page), and might try to disguise their urls. Be smart: facebook.profile.a36h8su 2m8.info/login starts out looking like a legitimate Facebook website, but that a36h8su2m8.info part means it’s fraudulent. Set and use a browser bookmark to make sure you always log in from facebook *.If you see aWall post that looks like spamon a friend’s Wall, tell the author to delete it and reset their password immediately. *.Use a modern web browser to benefit from anti-phishing protection 1.Internet Explorer 7 2.Firefox 3.Google Chrome.
