In this post I will simply tell how a Facebook account is hacked in different ways.
1-Phishing attack
Phishing is the one of the most popular attack that is used for Facebook hacking.Here attackers simply create a page which looks exactly to Facebook.Once the victim log in through the fake page,the victims Login ID and password are sent to attackers house. So when ever you logging into any social media website please look the address carefully and then continue log-on.
2-Key logging
Key logging is the easiest and faster way to hack Facebook. Here intruders install a key logger in victims computer. It records every thing on his/her computer(key presses and mouse clicks). And these all are stored into log and this log is send back directly to the attacker house. Whenever logging into private systems once check background process like any keyloggers.
3-Session Hijacking
Session Hijacking is the one of the dangerous attack among all other attacks.Here the attacker stole the user-name and password by hijacking the session.Here the session is stealed by non secure connection(http).It is most widely used on LAN, and WiFi connections.
4-Stealer's
Almost 70% of people save their passwords in browser to access facebook. Attackers use some software's that specially designed to get the saved passwords from the victims browser.
5-DNS Spoofing
If both the hacker and victim are on the same network, an attacker can use a DNS spoofing attack and change the original Facebook page to his own fake page and hence can get access to victim's Faceboook account.
6-Man In the Middle Attacks
If the attacker and victim are in same network, a hacker can place himself between the client and server,otherwise he could act as default gateway and can capture all the traffic in between them.
7-USB Hacking
If an attacker has physical access to victim's computer, he could just insert a USB programmed with a function to automatically extract saved passwords in the Web Browser.
