Someone is liking vulgar posts from my Facebook ID. Is my account hacked ?

Hey Guys,

It's been a long time I've posted something. (Was busy with Exams :p ). But now I am back with an important issue being raised again & again. Let's See...

One of my follower sent me a message telling the issue he is facing and he was sure that his password is strong and no one has access to his Facebook account.

Then who do you think is the one behind it ?

Let's not give you the answer but instead ask you few questions...

• 1. When some websites ask you to "Login With Facebook" and Then after logging in why don't you have to type in your details like - "Name, email or add picture for display".

• 2. When you play an android game like "Subway Surfers" and then it asks you to connect with Facebook. After logging in, have you ever thought that just by clicking share button on game, how are you able to share your achievement on your account ?

• How is an Autoliker tool giving you likes ? From whose accounts ?

Unlike all pages at once - Facebook

 Now let's try to answer

When the user login(s) to the website, it redirects you to the page where it asks for your permissions that you grant to their application

And when you permit the application for the activities it is asking for, it'll be able to operate your account without again asking anything. Even if you are logged out the application will be able to use your account. Here's list of permission and activities that an application can perform from your account without asking you again.

</div> your public profile, friend list, email address, custom friends lists, messages, friend requests, News Feed, relationships, relationship interests, birthday, chat status, notes, work history, status updates, education history, events, groups, home town, interests, current city, Photos, questions, religious and political views, follows and followers, videos, website, personal description, likes, books activity, music activity, news activity, video activity and games activity and your friends' relationships, relationship interests, birthdays, chat statuses, notes, work histories, status updates, education histories, events, groups, hometowns, interests, current cities, photos, questions, religious and political views, follows and followers, videos, websites, personal description, likes, books activity, music activity, news activity, video activity and games activity</div>

Applications can operate your account with your own permission.

Non-trusted applications that takes your permission can 90% takeover your account and perform all the actions. Auto-Likers(HTC SENSE), Fun apps etc. can force you to like other posts or even send friend requests.

How to save my account ?

• First of all we need to take back the permissions from the application.
• Click here to see all applications.
• Find out the untrusted or unwanted ones.
• Click on the application and choose "Remove app".

Now the account is safe and you can undo all actions by choosing the actions you haven't performed. To see the activities performed, Go to the activity log on your profile page.
