Do you have Facebook Protect activated? If not, Facebook may lock you out of your account. Earlier in 2021, Facebook introduced Facebook Protect, an added layer of security for people who are highly targeted by malicious hackers, including human rights defenders, journalists, and government officials. Several users, who fell under the targeted category, received emails titled “Your account requires advanced security from Facebook Protect” and asking them to turn on the Facebook Protect feature else Facebook would lock them out of their account. “As part of our ongoing improvements to security, we’re expanding Facebook Protect, a program designed for people that are likely to be highly targeted by malicious hackers, including human rights defenders, journalists, and government officials,” Facebook said. The social media giant explained that people who should turn on the Facebook Protect were at the “center of critical communities for public debate. They enable democratic elections, hold governments and organizations accountable, and defend human rights around the world. Unfortunately, this also means that they are highly targeted by bad actors.”When activated, Facebook safeguards the accounts of people by enabling strong security protection like two-factor authentication and monitoring for potential hacking threats.  » Read More
