The Marketing for Good Show

QUICK SHOT- 🧑🏾‍💻 Hackers Want Access To Your Business Accounts

Teevee the Marketer Season 2 Episode 1

Stop what you're doing and secure your social media accounts now. Otherwise, things will be complicated for you.

I've been working with a client all week to retrieve her profile page and business pages on Facebook. The entire process has been a nightmare.

Watch today's video where I discuss how and why this needs to be the very next thing you do NOW.

I want you to stop what

you're doing right now.

Go to facebook.com, log into your profile

and immediately change your password

to something that is very, very strong.

If you have already done that

and you do have a strong

password, and kudos to you.

But if you know you don't,

if you know you're using the same

password on multiple accounts,

I can't stress enough to you.

Go change it now,

and I would even say that

if you're watching this

on LinkedIn or Instagram

or TicTok, do that there as well,

But more than anything, I mean

I'm stressing on Facebook

because a lot of businesses actually use

Facebook as one of the primary ways

to promote their business.

If your Facebook

profile gets hacked, that's bad

because many of us older people

have over 10 years worth of content

and photos and stories

there that we've been using

as our photo album, as a way to store it.

And if your Facebook account,

your profile gets hacked,

you could lose access to it

because from the moment

that it gets hacked

into, hackers gain access

every passing moment that goes by.

It makes it even more and more difficult

because they start changing

the phone number

that's associated to your account.

They started changing the email address

associated to your account

and it becomes an absolute nightmare,

and the likelihood that you may

lose complete access

to the Facebook profile becomes

higher and higher

with each passing moment.

But on top of that,

if you have Facebook

pages, business pages

associated with your account,

they then will be able to access that

those as well as has

happened with my client.

So go change your password now

and once you do that

Also add two factor authentication

because it adds a yet

another layer of security

if they try to gain access

or change your password,

it has to send you a text

or something to verify that you are

indeed that same person it can.

It can be a little annoying

if it is you, but

it's an annoyance

that's worth the trouble,

because if you lose access

it is an absolute nightmare.

So do me a favor.

Share this with anyone

that could benefit from this video,

'cause frankly everyone

needs to make sure

to protect their accounts,

And memories will be lost

as the equivalent

of having your photo albums

burned in a fire.

Thank you very much.
