In conjunction with "Christmas"...a warning to millions of Facebook users

 Cybersecurity experts issued warnings to millions of people on Facebook, in conjunction with the Christmas and New Year celebrations. The British newspaper "The Sun" said that Internet experts warn that Facebook users "need to be careful during the festive season."

They say it is "more important than ever to check your Facebook account and make sure it's in good shape," given that "hackers" are taking advantage of high shopping habits during this period to hack accounts. "Our number one tip for staying safe while using Facebook this Christmas is to check which apps you've used your Facebook account to log in to," said Jamie Akhtar, CEO of CyberSmart.

He added, "Although many of these applications are safe, many users have been hacked and their data stolen through this method." For this purpose, Ahktar stresses the necessity of "cleaning applications" constantly, by going to "privacy settings" and then clearing "off-Facebook history".

"Doing this once every six months is a simple and effective way to improve your security online." On the other hand, experts recommend that "never click on messages that are supposed to be from friends or family, and that request donations, loans and other financial issues." In the end, they assure that the best way to protect your account is to secure it with a strong password, and not to use it on other sites.
