There’s No Way: “How To See Who Viewed Your Profile” Beware!

facebook-virusYou get a event invite on facebook that claims at telling you a way out for seeing who all viewed your profile. The topic is tempting, after all who wouldn’t like to count the number of boys/girls visiting her/his profile. May be that guy is your ex-boyfriend or even your old boss who’s still stalking you for what you have been doing. Recently Mark Zuckerberg’s facebook profile was hacked, and now this. Most of you might have already got such an invitation from one or many of your facebook friends. But the truth behind, there’s no such method. Facebook  does not provides any code for the purpose and hence claiming to have developed such an app is certainly a SCAM. This can be verified from the facebook FAQs section

These applications pick random people and numbers from your facebook friend list when you run the scripts and claim as if the data they are providing is based on certain analysis which is as fake as their developers are. Some of these even ask you to complete hefty surveys before you can actually get get through with the method, leading the owner to earn dollars by just fooling you.

I received the invite, I clicked on it, Now what?

Well, you just helped a cyber criminal. But don’t worry, you are safe as long as you follow the following steps:

  • Do not click on suspicious looking links that hit your profile (even it came from someone you know well).
  • Be careful to look at the address bar when you enter your password. It must be something like facebook.com/…
  • Change your password frequently and use a strong password.
  • Do not use your facebook password anywhere else on the internet.
  • Visit http://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=applications from your account and delete any apllication with a malicious, fake or stupid name.
