This is how you can safeguard your social media accounts from hackers

ExpressVPN, NordVPN, and Surfshark are among our favorites since they all offer simple applications that can be used on several devices. It’s worth mentioning that Surfshark has no restriction on the number of connections you may utilize at once, while Express and Nord have five and six, respectively.

Number 6. Make sure you boost your account privacy

Another essential measure is to make your social profile as secret as possible. Be aware of what you publish online and the information you reveal about yourself to achieve this. Then, go to the settings of your Facebook, TikTok, or Twitter account and uncheck the features you don’t want to use.

You should also go through your account permissions and limit access to other applications. This implies that if you are hacked, attackers will be unable to access your other accounts.

Number 7. You can even think about using a different email account for your social media use

Finally, establish an email address that will only be used for your social media profiles. This would protect your more sensitive information in the event that your social accounts were hijacked.
