1. Phishing:Hackers create fake login pages that look like Facebook to trick users into entering their credentials. When users input their login information, it gets sent to the hacker instead of Facebook.
2. Keylogging:Hackers use malware, often installed via suspicious downloads, to record everything a person types, including passwords.
3. Brute Force Attacks:This involves using automated tools that try different password combinations rapidly until they find the correct one. Weak passwords are vulnerable to this method.
4. Session Hijacking:If a hacker manages to intercept a user's session (especially on public or insecure Wi-Fi networks), they can gain control of the account without needing the password.
5. Social Engineering:Hackers may try to manipulate or deceive the target into willingly providing personal information, such as passwords or security question answers, via direct interaction.
6. Exploiting Vulnerabilities:If there are any bugs or weaknesses in Facebook's security protocols or in third-party apps connected to Facebook, hackers can exploit these to gain access.
