Facebook scares users with account protection status warning

Last few weeks many of my friends on Facebook page mailed me that their account protection was "very low". I was bit surprised when I saw A screen shot of it.

Your account protection status: Very low
Increase protection

With a scareware which I call fake antivirus prompts you to increase protection of your account which is not compromised even. There must be something which lets you do it. And the red hackers must be planning out to do something when you do it. The question is how?

Now its a human tendency, when you see the warning you get upset and worry about the security of personal data on web. Now most people who are aware how to change the security will definitely try to take some actions.

Those action include changing the facebook password, Increasing security by not allowing any IP address log in without registering, then applying for a phone number sms updates which will help you to know If you are login with the Facebook account and so on.

I was so curious to get this thing straight. Why FB will feel that my account security is not up-to the mark?Well you also might have the same question in your mind. Let me take you into deep.

If you do click on the link, the first thing you are asked to do is enter an additional email address. So if you forget your password they will do the needful with this address.Also they will update your every login details to your mail described.They could then use this, for instance, to communicate with you with this mail address.

Its quick right, Isn't it? Well I personally prefer you before doing anything like updating your numbers and email addresses to think of it for a second.

Think before adding your personal information over internet such as Address, Phone Number, Identity number etc.
It makes difficult for any body if your accounts are compromised simultaneously. So I will prefer you to use different passwords for your Facebook accounts and for your personal mail accounts.
This may help you to get through some of the phishing attacks.


Cheers!!!
