# Is it really possible to know "Who Viewed Your Facebook Profile?
- Are you eager to know what sorts of people visit your Facebook profile?
# MANY APPS LIKE....(USED FOR FAKE INFORMATION)
- DOORBELL : This app has more than 30,000 visitors currently. This is not very accurate as the user has to click the doorbell to get the stats recorded. This apps lets you put a doorbell, so that you get to know who visits your profile in Facebook.
- UNFACED.COM : John Arrow, who developed the Unfaced.com apps, has been banned from Facebook. This apps is the only one that really works on Facebook. However it is against the rules and regulations of this social networking site. In fact Facebook tried to get into terms with John Arrow and suggested deleting the site, so that his Facebook account can be reinstated.
# WAIT WAIT WAIT . . . BUT ACTUALLY REALITY IS . . .
- Anybody using any form of tools or applications to track the people who visit his or her profile is against the terms and conditions of Facebook. When such applications are used Facebook may delete your account without warning as a breach of terms. The applications that claim to track the visitors’ profile are not owned or authorized by Facebook.
Most of the applications for tracking profiles are fake and fraudulent applications. They may be owned by HACKERS. They may also contain virus. In such cases, your Facebook account may be exploited by them for their own benefit. It is better to extremely cautious as these activities may turn you in bad light, for no fault of yours. Again virus tools may also lead to malfunctioning of your system. Few applications are well designed to get information about your email id. These will not only lead to unwanted marketing emails being received, but also, all your personal information can be tracked. Imagine what if your bank transactions are followed by your mail id? That is the worst that can happen.
- It is never possible in Facebook for applications to see who has viewed your profile. Even the News feeds and other community feed applications, cannot track this piece of information but only see who keeps replying to the news feeds and people who are engaged to a specific sort of posts in a wall.
The terms and policies of Facebook clearly states that no one can track or view the visitors who visits the profiles. So, you can too visit anyone’s profile without his or her knowledge and using of the apps will not let them track you.

# WHY HACKERS WANT TO HACK YOUR ACCOUNT ? ? ?
- To Steal Information:The main motto behind hacking your account can be stealing information.As Facebook is a place where you interact with every person and discuss various issues like personal matters,business deals,Education etc.So some one might wanted to know your secrets about your Personal/Professional life will try to hack your account or hire any expert to hack your account.
- To ruin your Business:For few people Facebook is not just a social networking site but its a great platform for many people to expand their business and get wide popularity in just few days.Even for a blogger like me,my Facebook account is very precious for me as it is one of the major traffic source for my blog and also my Facebook Fanpage which has about 2000 Followers.If such an account gets compromised then I will be loosing Facebook Fanpages and many other groups linked with that account.
- For Money: As I already said that your Facebook account is not just an account but its linked with your Personal/Professional life.Some people might sell/hack your account to earn money.
- Just For Fun: Now this sounds weird but its true.Few hackers just hack Facebook accounts randomly for fun.Having passion to become a hacker is not a bad thing but using your skills in a wrong way may take such people into danger.
- Even though there are hundred other reasons why your Facebook can be hacked,the above stated are just few common reasons why most of the accounts gets compromised.
# DOES PROVIDE GOOD SECURITY TO USERS.... ? ? ?
- The answer is Yes.Facebook is very much concerned about its security of its users.Though the privacy is not that good on Facebook but security measures are very high.Its highly difficult to compromise a Facebook account unless and until the Facebook user ignores few security measures and falls into trap of the hacker.

#####
STEPS TO PROTECT YOUR FACEBOOK ACCOUNT:
#####
1)KEEP A STRONG PASSWORD
- This is the first thing every user must take care of.
Its very unfortunate to inform you that most of the passwords are either password/phone numbers/nick names/Date of births.
- This makes your account very weak and it will be very easy to compromise your account by guessing your password if the other person knows you personally or just few details of yours.
A strong password must contain atleast 8 digits with Small Letters (a,b,c etc), CAPS(A,D,E),Numbers(5,43) and special characters(_,@,$).
2)SET UP VERY STRONG SECURITY QUESTION
80% of the accounts are hacked by answering security question.Most of the people ignore and become lazy while setting up their security question and for the name sake they keep some nickname/Native places as their security question.A person knowing a little information about you can easily compromise your account by answering security question.
- If you have not yet setted security question to your Facebook Account ,Go to Account Settings->Security Tab there you can see the option setting up security question.
- If you have already setted up security question for your account then this option will not be visible to you.
- Facebook doesn't allow you to change your Security Question for security reasons.
3)TURN ON SECURE BROWSING
Always browser on secure https.The green https in your browser url denotes secure browsing where as yellow/red mark on https denotes insecure browsing.
- Go to Account Settings.
- Then on the left side click on Security Tab.
- In Security click on Secure Browsing and check the Box "Browse Facebook on a secure connection (https) when possible" then save the changes.
4)TURN ON LOGIN NOTIFICATION
- By turning on login notification you will get a message to your email/phone whenever you login from a new device.Facebook mobile service is very poor and you rarely get any message from them to mobile but their email notifications service is pretty good and fast.
- Go to Login Notifications and Check both boxes then save the changes.
* IF YOU WANT TO STOP NOTIFICATION THEN COMMENT BELOW OF THE BLOG OR EMAIL ME : rakshitshah1994@gmail.com
- We daily use many applications on Facebook.Most of them wont ask you for password but rarely you will find few applications that asks your password to access the application.Most of the times such kind of applications will turn out to be phishing scams.So Facebook has taken an advanced step and gave users an option to set a different password for applications.
- To set A Temporary password for applications go to App Password and click on generate.
6)KEEP THE ACCOUNT WHICH IS LINKED TO FACEBOOK SAFE
- Your Facebook account may either linked to Gmail,Yahoo,Hotmail etc.In order to protect your Facebook account you must give good protection to your linked accounts.
- As I already said that you must keep your linked account safe in order to keep your Facebook account safe.So better keep the email id linked to Facebook as private and dont share with others.
- Go to your Account Info.
- In Contact Info Section click on Edit button.
- Now if you are asked to enter your password enter your password and submit.
- Then you can set the preference as you like to your primary email address.
- Choose only me if you want to hide it from others.
9)KEEP A GLANCE AT RECOGNISED DEVICE
- Facebook asks you for device name whenever you login from a new device.Facebook stores the names of all these devices in your Recognised Devices section.If anytime you see any suspicious device click on remove.
- Facebook is the #1 target for scammers.They try to scam each and every possible way to trap you to hack your account and to earn money.
Most of the common scams you see on Facebook looks like Removing Facebook Timeline,Check out who viewed your profile most.
- After timeline has introduced and once you enabled it then its not possible to remove timeline.Also there is no such application which helps you to know who viewed your profile most,Facebook doesn't allow this.Such things are very eye catching and most of the people want to know such things so they give a try and fall in trap.Such kind of things are the primary targets for scammers ,Beware of such things.
The last but very important is knowing few things about hacking.I am not forcing you to learn hacking but you must know few common attacks by which your account can be compromised.The most widely used attacks are Phishing,Keylogging.Know a little about these things to stay away from such attacks.
