Your data is no longer safe on Facebook:
Is any of your apps, such as Facebook and Instagram, secure
where you store your personal information? This question becomes very important
today as a large population of the world in the process of socializing leaves
their personal information uploaded on apps like Facebook and Instagram, and
that data remains safe on those platforms for years.
Which anyone can access from anywhere anytime. But is it the
right thing to do? Today we are raising these questions because according to
today's news the personal data of millions of Facebook users is in danger. It
is reported that the personal data of millions of Facebook users are being
misused, which has been informed by Facebook's parent company Meta, itself to
its users.
Meta users have been warned of data theft. Many Android and
iOS have stolen and misused Facebook login credentials. Login credential
means your ID and Password. In this, a case of theft of login credentials of
about one million Facebook users has come to light. Facebook login
connections have been detected in most photo editors, game VPN services, and
business and utility apps.
However, keeping in mind the safety of its users, Meta also detected 400 such apps on Google Play store and Apple Store. The Facebook credentials of the users using these apps are being stolen and misused. Google and Apple also took immediate action as soon as the error was detected. Google and Apple have removed such apps from their platforms as soon as information is received.
But now a big question is whether your data is safe on the Facebook and Insta platforms. Are these types of platforms right for you? Be it your photo, video, number, or any of your email IDs. How accurate it is to have your personal information in the hands of an unknown, and how much it can be misused. You probably never would have thought.
For example, let us tell you about an incident from last year. A man living in Delhi came to know about his Facebook account being hacked when a friend of his called him and asked if he had received the money, he did not understand anything. He said that I did not ask for any money. How much money did you send and who asked you to send money?
His friend said that 1000 has been sent because he got a message from Facebook messenger that you are stuck somewhere and needed ₹1,000 immediately. He asked for the number to which he transferred the money. But the number was not present when the call was made. In such a situation, cases of hacking people's accounts and fraud with them are coming to the fore.
Be careful when your account is hacked. However, this time
Meta has also issued a safety message for the users, exposing the matter of
data theft. Which it has been said that after downloading any new app, keep in
mind that users do not share their user credentials. If an app asks you for any
credentials in the name of using it, do not use it.
Apart from this, the company also sought solutions from
security research policymakers in the social media industry to avoid such
threats. Such apps can be dangerous for you. Also, you know like the photo
editor app, in which permission is asked to make your cartoon. And VPN apps
increase browsing speed by blocking content and websites.
There are utility apps like Flashlight Enhancer and gaming
apps that claim high-quality graphics as well. Apart from this, you are also
involved in fitness training apps, horoscope, and health and lifestyle apps.
Such data-stealing apps also include hidden features like business and
management. So be careful while downloading the app anyhow.
