How to Secure Your Social Media Accounts?

How secured is your social media account?

Everybody is on social media this days but the question is how secured is your social media accounts?

Like it or not we put out so many sensitive information on social media that we need to make sure we have a good level of security. 


Any good black hat hacker can use your PII (Personal Identifiable Information) to attack you. This include your birth date, your full name, your age and card details.


 in security we refer to this as using a social engineering against you.

Thus, the hackers have overtime through this social engineering tools study your social behavior. Again the easiest way to track us this days base on this social engineering factor is through social media. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.

Have you ever Google yourself and see Google pulled information about you that you are really not happy about? 


A friend of mine once Googled himself and saw Google pulled up information about him from a dating site he was a member of. He was not happy about it.

He was was like “Bruh look at this, how can I hide this from search engine?”. So what I’m saying is that your information are floating out there that you really are not safe.

So how do I secure my Social Media Accounts?Securing your social media account isn’t a rocket science. There a few measures to take and this bring us to Multi-Factor Security. 


Multi-factor authentication is an authentication method in which a computing device user is granted access only after successfully presenting two or more (Multi) pieces of evidence to an authentication system: Which are what you know like your username and password, What you have like a token, and who you are, that’s your biological features. E.g finger print, retinal scan, etc. This is what bio-metrics is about.

Two-factor authentication is a subset, of multi-factor authentication. This is usually two out of the three factors.
So to secure your social media account, make sure to use at least Two-Factor Authentication. Facebook offers this kind of security right now. My Facebook account is so secured that even if I were to give you my username and password you still won’t be able to login to my account because of the multi-level or multi-factors security on my account.

Presently bank apps implement even bio-metric system of security with Apple Phones and Samsung asking for your thumbprint, facial and even retinal scan.
