Recently, the number of attackers hacking into other people's Vkontakte pages has greatly increased. In order not to become one of their victims, you need to protect your account. To do this, it is enough to follow a number of simple rules.
Instructions
Step 1
First, come up with a complex password. Use a variety of drafting methods, alternating between letters and numbers, uppercase and lowercase letters. The more complex the word, the less likely it is that an attacker will be able to guess the password manually.
Step 2
Do not use the password you invented to register on other sites. Otherwise, when hacked, you have the opportunity to lose all your accounts.
Step 3
Change your password to a new one regularly, at least once a month. Store logins and passwords not in an electronic document on a computer, but write them down, for example, on paper.
Step 4
Clear the cookie.
Step 5
Do not communicate with anyone about your passwords, especially with unfamiliar people. If the cracker is an experienced person, it will not be difficult for him to figure out what kind of word you are using as a password.
Step 6
Set up the privacy of your page. Make it visible only to friends. Do the same with albums, personal information, etc.
Step 7
Do not leave Vkontakte from Internet cafes or other unreliable computers. They may contain malicious software - KeyLogger. These are spyware that intercept keystrokes and write them to a separate file.
Step 8
Install high-quality antivirus programs on your computer and update them regularly. Check your computer for viruses in time, especially Trojans. Some viruses steal data not only from the computer itself, but also from your browser.
Step 9
Do not follow suspicious links to unfamiliar sites.
Step 10
Do not download programs for Vkontakte, such as "how to raise your rating", etc. This is spyware!
Step 11
Beware of phishing apps. If you are asked to enter your username and / or password when downloading an application you do not know, immediately contact the technical support manual. Also, if you receive regular messages with requests of a similar nature, for example, from the administration, be careful, none of the real site employees will ask you for this information.
