Next big threat is key loggers. Key logger is a simple software or web browser addon which can record everything you type. I have seen key loggers in some internet cafes. most of the software key loggers getting blocked by antivirus softwares but there are few tools available that can work perfectly even there is an antivirus working.key logger browser addons never get caught by antiviruses. so when you login from another place you have to make sure that you are safe. I'll give you some tips to protect your facebook account.
If you are using facebook or another site on a internet cafe or someother place try to use on screen keyboard tool in windows. don't let your web browser save your password. After you have finished browsing internet clear your browser history and cookies. remove any saved passwords. always use fre computers or devices to use facebook and name them. so you can see if someone else has logged in from another computer. lets see how to name computers and other devices.
Step 1 : Go to account settings page on your timeline or profile
Step 2 : Click on the Security panel on the left side bar
Step 3 : Enable Secure browsing. that means when you login to facebook, your browser will use https protocol. so they will block untrusted apps in facebook. But if you have to use some apps you trust which doesn't have SSL certificate, you will have to keep this disabled
Step 4 : Login Notifications is another great feature added to facebook. When some one or you login to your account from a new device you will get an E-mail or sms alert. so you will know when some one else logged in to your account. when you login to your account from a computer facebook will store a cookie to track your details. so next time you login with same pc that cookie will tell facebook that you have been logged in to this account using same pc. if there is not any cookie installed you will get an Email or sms saying that somebody just logged in. When you use facebook on other place like friend's home or internet cafe don't forget to clear browser cookies and history after you logout. so even somebody hacked your passowrds using a keylogger you will get notified when he login so you can change your password immediately. if you have Facebook login approvals enabled you will get the code to access that new pc. so that hacker cant use your account till they find that unique code.
Step 5 : These are the places you have used to log in to your account. there will be your computer and other devices you are using. if there is other places listed, you can remove them. best thing is remove all and logout. clear cookies. when you login again they will ask a name for this computer. enter some name like "myhomepc" so after that when you see something else on this list just remove them. so those computers will need login approvals again.
Step 6 : If you thing you have been hacked or you just received an E-mail or sms saying somebody else has logged in to your account you can see from where he use your account. so you can guess the person. change passwords and remove all recognized devices is the best security option you can have.
