Youre offered access to a video, music or whatever and a box pops up asking for permission to access your account and post on your behalf. Quite often this will be a legitimate request to use your page to promote a product or service with no ill intentions. Unless you are absolutely sure you can trust the website DO NOT click yes. If Youre not sure you click on no, right? WRONG. You click on the x then? WRONG AGAIN. Hackers will set these requests up in such a way that whatever you click grants access. You log out. If anything is posted on your behalf that you do not recognise or havent give permission for, change your password. If you see a post on your newsfeed from a friend that youre not sure of, check with them, they may not be aware of it. Cases of fraud should be reported to Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040 and not local police service.
