To ask how to stop my Facebook account being hacked?

[Jobs4kids]

Google not being too helpful so thought I'd ask here.

3 times over the past couple of weeks, Facebook has posted from my account some rubbish post about an "amazing" weight loss programme. Embarrassingly it also tags my friends. Each time I've changed my password to something obscure and deleted the post from my and affected friends timelines but a few days later it happens again. Does anyone have any idea how to stop this? I don't want to delete Facebook as although I'm not a prolific poster I want to keep it for various reasons. Help!

Thank you 😁

It will not be being hacked, you have granted something permission to post on your page. You need to go into settings and remove their permission.

I think it is in business integrations in your settings.

Here:

Agreed. It's not been hacked at done point you've clicked on something or agreed to something to allow the post.

Thanks but I'm not finding a business integrations option in my settings (probably being thick)

It is under settings and privacy on my Android phone, look for activity and then it's under that.

This is the actual purpose of all those. "funny" which Game of thrones character are you? Or which Viking are you etc etc. They data mine you and get access to your pages.

Ah found it! But it says I'm not using any

@ConflictedCheetah I never engage with any of that rubbish!

Make sure when you change your password to get Facebook to log out of all sessions on every device as well.

This is one of the posts:

Next step is to follow the privacy check up. It will tell you what has access via your account. You just follow all the steps

@IIdentifyAsInnocent thanks have done this & removed most of the apps/websites now (there were about half a dozen). Will see if it happens again!

Can't believe the amount of people falling for the fucking viking thing 🙄

They all think the filter makes them look sultry and sexy but all I see is dickheads 🤣

No problem... I've no idea why I have decided to suddenly be the Oracle in relation to Facebook 😂😂

I'm not normally such a helpful person!! 🤣 I am driven mad by people on my Facebook posting similar and getting tagged in it!

You should also turn on two factor authentication which links your login to a mobile number or authenticator app. Anyone else who may have your password will also need access to that device to login.

Go through all the apps etc, remove any you're not 100% sure are genuine, remember also that after you gave them permission they may have changed what they are/do... so what was a 'what kind of potato are you' silly quiz thing is now something else entirely.

Anything that is allowed to post as you, can post this stuff, so remove all that -THEN change passwords.

I was thinking this 😆

So pleased I’ve resisted the Viking… so many of my friends- usually clued up friends- are doing it.

I'm shocked at some of my friends too. There's witchy versions, vikings. They look fucking ridiculous 🤣
