 Hi, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rosal here I want to do a video today talking about Facebook security and some proactive steps You can take to make sure that your Facebook your Facebook Messenger your WhatsApp your Instagram now not directly Just because those are connected through Facebook that those things don't get hacked and that they're not already hacked So here's a couple of things you can do and as in most things in life Prevention is definitely better than cure So if you can go in you should really go into this Facebook security settings page Every few months in order to make sure that there's nothing looking sketchy Now there's a few ways potentially your Facebook could be compromised Let's take the example of you know, you're using your Facebook You're accessing Facebook from an untrusted computer like some computer in a hotel or a hostel And there's a few things that could go wrong there for one at a very simple level if this is truly a scammer There could be something like a keyboard logger That's just recording all the keystrokes and that would be an incredibly easy way for anybody to pick up your credentials It's not even involving network sniffing. It's just literally a program on the computer capturing all the keystrokes so if you happen to fall into the clutches of a Scammer that would be one way they could copy your credentials if you're on a public Wi-Fi network and there's other devices on that network then you do run into the risk of Package sniffing which is when somebody else on that local network is able to listen in and intercept and decrypt The packages you're sending to the internet a man in the middle attack is another possibility in that kind of a setup That would be worried by somebody would create a website that looks very very much like Facebook But the credentials are being captured by a carbon copy That sits in the middle and that carbon copy is operated by a scammer and they just have to have that replica Sitting there and they're just sniffing Well picking up actually credentials So there's a few things that could potentially go wrong if you especially if you're using your Facebook from a Public hotspot, but this is just kind of a proactive security Tune up you could say just to make sure everything's looking okay, so I'm going to jump now into the Facebook Facebook settings page now what I'm looking at here is the security settings. It's under settings security and login Now first things first you can see here. There is in the middle where you're logged in So this is this should be the first thing you should check and click on see more Just to make sure that you have Everything all the current sessions now naturally this shouldn't be an encyclopedia this would be a relatively short list of Computers currently locked in now if you look at my login activity here You can see that I'm currently logged in from two computers now on a day-to-day basis I use Linux not many people not as many people use Linux So the first thing I'm really eyeballing is okay. Well, is there any Mac computers or there's any window computers? So vice versa if you're using Windows day-to-day if you see a random Linux computer in a random place or a random Mac computer in a random place That would be a tip-off that something is amiss and you should check that out now if if you're just going for an Emergency situation there is a button here saying log out of all sessions One thing that needs to be pointed out here is you might you I might see this and say cat's rain That's weird. I'm not logged in. I don't live in cat's rain in Israel. I live in Jerusalem now The name here is based on geo location So it's going to be looking at the IP address and trying to geo locate that okay So basically it's saying where is this address? Where do we think here's the public IP address being used to connect? Where do we think that is in the world now the public IP address is going to be a function of? Where your internet service provider how it's reaching the internet where it's going out to Facebook servers? And again, that's just geo located. So what you can do Now what I've done here is I just hovered just going to zoom in I've harbored over cat's rain and you can see here It says IP and this is a IP v6 IP address different looking thing than IP v4 So that's firstly if you see something if you really want to check it out that should be your first stage 2 a 0 2 6 f 6 f See 0 b 72 cb 0 0. So this is my current Public IP address now what you want to verify is that this is your public IP address now to do that is really not hard Google my public IP This is probably the easiest and quickest way and you can get to a website like my public IP comm now What that's going to show you is your public IP address now This is a public IP v6 2 a 0 2 6 f. So just look at the first two if it's a IPv4 address It's going to be shorter than this so I can just look at 2 a 0 2 6 fc 0 And I can just compare this 2 a 0 2 6 fc 0. So as I expected Katarine is indeed me and I'm not worried about you the phone because that's the Device and manufacturer phone that I'm currently using and that's pretty obscure So I don't see anything that looks amiss here. I'm logged in for my phone. I'm logged in for my desktop That's all okay. So that's number one is check out there. And if you do see something weird log out from all sessions To factor authentication is an absolute must if you're not using to factor Authentication you should be using to factor authentication So make sure that's turned on if you're not using to factor authentication Turning that on should be the very first thing you do in order to try to tune up the security on your Facebook Okay, and there's a couple a couple more things that you definitely want to do blind spots as such here Now this is a this is way too big. This is not what you want to be doing This is a list of authorized log-ins review a list of devices where you won't have to use a login code Now if you've done something like you have lost your phone, let's say, okay You want you're going to want to retract access to that device from this authorized login list Let's say you lost your phone at a party or something. You'd have a lot of potential security headaches there firstly, hopefully you're using a Log-in a lock protector and on whatever whether it's an Android or an iOS That would be number one, but let's say you're not using that So potentially whoever's picked up your phone and has powered on your phone is going to have access to every single app on your phone Including your Facebook. So what you'd want to do in that case is just revoke Access to that device. So I'd go into that periodically and I would clean house anything any computer You've given you've given that that that access to and you get that by clicking Don't ask me for when you when you log in through two factor authentication Don't ask me for this again, and that'll save that device So you just want to make sure that that's a reasonably small list one more thing I do want to show here and that's basically about it in terms of the top line security settings that you want to be implementing If you click on apps and websites now, this is again what I would call just best practice Would be going through this and making sure that the list is limited. Let's take The journal dot ie here, which is currently active. I added this so sometimes you'll go on to websites And you'll see it'll say log in via Facebook and what this what this what this application will receive now generally These are pretty trustworthy big websites. Let's say, okay So what we're doing here is we are seeing the journal dot ie logged in with Facebook And it's receiving my name and my profile picture So that's not really too much information But it's just go through that again And if you see anything that you don't think should still be trusted It would be a good idea to go ahead and revoke that connection So that's basically the main steps I would do in terms of going into my Facebook security page Every let's say two to three months and just making sure that nothing was looking badly amiss And if you do that you can definitely keep ahead of any Attempts to access your Facebook account from unauthorized parties that may be malicious in nature Thank you for watching to get more videos about technology Linux and other subjects.
