Facebook is a social networking site where users can chat in real-time, watch short videos, leave comments, swap photos, and share links to significant online content. Shared content can be made accessible to everyone, only to a select group of close friends or family members, or to a single person.
If you’re an active Facebook user, you might have come across a lot of people’s accounts being hacked or might have at least heard about it. Recently, Jane Manchun Wong, who is a tech blogger, brought to her Twitter that someone might be interested in hacking her Facebook account. She shared a screenshot of a warning from Facebook warning her about the hack.
