Facebook的安全性相当稳固。但是，人们用来监控他人活动的漏洞有很多。此外，您不必在Facebook 上(Facebook)与这些跟踪者加为好友，他们就可以查看您的个人数据。
我们将向您展示人们用来跟踪您(people use to stalk you)的各种技巧，包括识别您的关系状态、您的居住地、您的兴趣、您的家人是谁等等。
1. 搜索您的个人资料详细信息(Your Profile Details)
并非每个人都拥有最好的Facebook安全设置。如果您还没有检查您的Facebook设置，或者您甚至不确定它们是什么，那么您肯定会受到跟踪者的威胁。
如果您开始浏览某人的个人资料，您会立即知道他们的Facebook设置是什么。在“关于(About)”页面上，您可能会或可能无法找到他们在哪里工作、他们在哪里上高中或大学、他们住在哪个城镇以及他们的关系状态（包括另一半的名字）。
“关于(About)”部分中的其他详细信息也会泄露您可能没有意识到的信息。
- 工作和教育(Work and Education)：揭示您的工作经历和上学时间
- Places Lived：提供位置详细信息，人们可以使用这些详细信息通过背景调查来识别您
- 联系方式和基本信息(Contact and Basic Info)：地址和电话号码（大多数人都很聪明，不会将其包含或设置为私人信息）
- 家庭和关系(Family and Relationships): 你的约会对象或结婚对象以及你的家人
- 生活大事(Life Events)：您可能认为您上学的日期并不重要，但这些信息可以很容易地确定您的确切年龄。
如您所见，即使让公众看到任何“关于(About)”的详细信息也可能很危险。这里的任何信息都可以是跟踪者可以在其他地方使用的数据点，以了解有关您的更多信息。
Facebook 上(Facebook)的大多数人都将他们的照片、视频和签到设置为私密，因此跟踪者通常不能将这些信息用于任何邪恶的事情。如果您尚未将所有这些设置为 private(set all this to private)，请立即执行！
2. 检查您评论过的照片(Photos)和帖子(Posts)
当您对设置为公开的照片或帖子发表评论时，任何人都可以看到它。许多人在发表评论时不会费心检查小隐私图标，这会将这些评论向全世界开放。
很容易看到有人评论或喜欢的每一个公开帖子或照片。
- 在他们的主要个人资料页面上，选择右侧的三个点，然后从下拉菜单中选择搜索个人资料。(Search Profile)
- 在左侧的搜索栏中，输入“喜欢的照片”，然后选择在此个人资料中搜索喜欢的照片(Search this profile for photos liked)。
- 按Enter 键(Enter)，您将看到所有结果，显示此人喜欢的公开照片。
- 同样的方法适用于他们喜欢的帖子，方法是输入“喜欢的帖子”并选择在此个人资料中搜索喜欢的帖子(Search this profile for posts liked)。
3. 您的电话号码会显示(Number Brings Up)您的Facebook 个人资料(Facebook Profile)
您(Did)是否知道，如果您将您的电话号码提供给任何人，他们可以直接访问Facebook并快速找到您的个人资料？
这是真的，有一个重要的警告。如果此人在Facebook上将其联系信息设为私有，则此技巧将不起作用。
由于大多数人将他们的联系信息设置为私密（或只能由朋友查看），因此此提示通常不适用于跟踪者，但请务必检查您的联系信息隐私设置(check your contact info privacy settings)！
4. 查找您最近的照片
Facebook上大多数人保持最差安全性的领域之一是他们的照片集和相册(photo collection and photo albums)，人们将这些隐私设置为公开(public)。
这意味着一旦跟踪者知道您的Facebook个人资料，他们就可以看到您的孩子、宠物、您的房子以及您居住的地方、去过的地方等等的照片。他们只需转到个人资料页面并选择照片(Photos)链接。
如果您的Facebook个人资料中有任何区域应设置为仅限好友隐私(Friends Only privacy)，这绝对是其中之一。
5.任何人都可以看到你喜欢的页面(Pages)
在喜欢Facebook 上(Facebook)的政治敏感或有争议的页面之前，请记住，如果您将“喜欢”的隐私设为公开(public)，任何人都可以看到它们。
这通常可能无关紧要，但对于任何求职(job hunting)或其他情况下他们的个人信仰或政治利益可能影响这些前景的人来说，这是需要考虑的事情。
看到这一点就像进入某人的Facebook 个人资料(Facebook Profile)并选择更多下的喜欢(Likes)链接一样简单。
任何人都可以查看所有喜欢(Likes)的内容，或选择电影(Movies)、电视节目、艺术家等类别。跟踪者可以仅根据您的Facebook(Facebook Likes)点赞数来建立关于您的完整个性档案。
6. 当心社会工程学
最后一个需要非常注意的Facebook跟踪技巧是社会工程。如果有人很想接近你，一个常见的策略是通过你的一个朋友“进入”。他们可能会加入您的一个朋友加入的群组，然后通过那里的对话与他们成为朋友。
一旦他们与您的一两个朋友成为朋友，他们可能会尝试向您发送朋友请求，希望您能添加他们，因为您的朋友已经有。
确定好友请求是否真实的一些事项包括：
- 假(Fake)照片（如卡通肖像）
- 很少有共同的朋友（1-4 个朋友）
- 好友列表中已有好友的好友请求
其中任何一个都表明跟踪者或诈骗者(a scammer)试图访问您的私人Facebook详细信息。
6 Ways To Protect Yourself from Facebook Stalkers
Facebook’s security is pretty solid. However, there are many loopholes people use to monitor the activitiеs of others. Furthermore, you don’t have to have already friended these stalkеrs on Facebook in order for them to view your personаl data.
We’ll show you the various tricks people use to stalk you, including identifying your relationship status, where you live, your interests, who your family members are, and more.
1. Scouring Through Your Profile Details
Not everyone has the best Facebook security set up. If you haven’t checked your Facebook settings or you’re even unsure what they are, you could definitely be at risk from stalkers.
You’ll know immediately what someone’s Facebook settings are if you start browsing their profile. On the About page, you may or may not be able to find out where they work, where they went to high school or college, what town they live in, and their relationship status (including the significant other’s name).
The other details in the About section also give away information you may not have realized.
- Work and Education: Reveals your job history and when you went to school
- Places Lived: Gives location details that people can use to identify you with background checks
- Contact and Basic Info: Address and phone number (most people are smart enough to not include or set this as private)
- Family and Relationships: Who you’re dating or married to and your family members
- Life Events: You may not think that the dates you attended school are important, but this information makes it easy to figure out your exact age.
As you can see, even letting the public see any About details can be dangerous. Any information here can be data points that stalkers can use elsewhere to learn more about you.
Most people on Facebook set their photos, videos, and check-ins to private so stalkers usually can’t use this information for anything nefarious. If you haven’t set all this to private, do so now!
2. Checking What Photos and Posts You’ve Commented On
When you make a comment on a photo or post where the setting is set to public, anyone can see it. Many people don’t bother to check the little privacy icon when they post a comment, which opens up those comments to the entire world.
It’s very easy to see every public post or photo someone commented on or liked.
- On their main profile page, select the three dots to the right and select Search Profile from the dropdown menu.
- On the search bar to the left, type “photos liked”, and then select Search this profile for photos liked.
- Press Enter and you’ll see all of the results, showing public photos this person has liked.
- The same approach works for posts they’ve liked by typing “posts liked” and selecting Search this profile for posts liked.
3. Your Phone Number Brings Up Your Facebook Profile
Did you know that if you’ve given your phone number to anyone at all, they can just go to Facebook and quickly find your profile?
It’s true, with one important caveat. If the person has made their contact information private on Facebook, then this trick won’t work.
Since most people set their contact info to private (or viewable only by friends), this tip doesn’t usually work for stalkers, but be sure to check your contact info privacy settings!
4. Looking Up Your Recent Photos
One of the areas where most people on Facebook keep the poorest security is their photo collection and photo albums where people set their privacy on these to public.
This means once a stalker knows your Facebook profile, they can see photos of your children, pets, your house and where you live, where you’ve traveled to, and much more. They just have to go to the profile page and select the Photos link.
If there is any area of your Facebook profile that you should set to Friends Only privacy, this is absolutely one of them.
5. Anyone Can See the Pages You Like
Before liking politically sensitive or controversial pages on Facebook, keep in mind that if you’ve kept your “likes” privacy as public, anyone can see them.
That may not matter generally, but for anyone job hunting or otherwise in a situation where their personal beliefs or political interests could affect those prospects, it’s something to consider.
Seeing this is as simple as going on someone’s Facebook Profile and selecting the Likes link under More.
Anyone can view All Likes, or select categories like Movies, TV shows, Artists, and more. A stalker can build an entire personality profile about you just based on your Facebook Likes alone.
6. Beware Social Engineering
The last Facebook stalking trick to be very aware of is social engineering. If someone is very interested in getting closer to you, a common tactic is to “get inside” through one of your friends. They may join a group that one of your friends has joined, and then befriend them through conversations there.
Once they’ve become a friend with one or two of your friends, they may attempt to send you a friend request, hoping you’ll add them since your friends already have.
Some things to identify if a friend request is real or not includes:
- Fake photos (like cartoon portraits)
- Very few mutual friends (1-4 friends)
- A friend request from a friend you already have on your friend list
Any of these indicate either a stalker or a scammer trying to get access to your private Facebook details.
