5 Things to Do to Secure Your Facebook Account From Hackers

Image
  Some time back, a Facebook account was irrelevant to hackers. There was no reason to hack anyone’s account since there was no reason for hacking an account in the first place. Ever since it has grown to billions of users, Facebook contains enough data for hackers to use for either monetary gain or blackmail. A celebrity’s account, for example, can be hacked in order for a person to advertise a page or brand. The hacker can also post embarrassing or discriminating posts that will leave the celeb’s fans furious. Your account is also prone to hacking even if you aren’t a celebrity. You obviously have to protect your  Facebook account from malicious hackers . It is not that hard to protect your account. Just follow these guidelines, and you’ll be good to go: 1) AVOID SAVING PASSWORDS ON PUBLIC DEVICES Cybercafés are awesome alternatives when you do not have any data on your device.

The Twitter account of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has posted what appears to be a call for an attack on Donald Trump in revenge for last year's killing of its top military commander.

The post features a depiction of a man resembling the former US president playing golf in the shadow of a warplane or large drone.

"Vengeance is inevitable," it reads.

Some Twitter users have called for the social media giant to suspend Ayatollah Khamenei's account.

Twitter closed President Trump's hugely influential account earlier this month after he published posts that were widely considered to have encouraged violence that gripped the US Capitol.

The tweet from Ayatollah Khamenei's account refers to Gen Qasem Soleimani, who was assassinated by a US drone in Baghdad a year ago.

Under Soleimani's leadership, Iran had bolstered pro-Iranian militant groups, expanded its military presence in Iraq and Syria and orchestrated Syria's offensive against rebel groups in its long-running civil war.

Mr Trump said at the time the general was "directly and indirectly responsible for the deaths of millions of people".

Iran responded by launching a barrage of missiles at an Iraqi airbase housing US troops and warned of further attacks, with Ayatollah Khamenei saying at the time that "severe revenge awaits the criminals".

In the latest tweet, written in Farsi, the word "vengeance" is in red and the rest of the post says: "Soleimani's murderer and he who ordered it will have to pay".

Twitter has yet to respond but its CEO, Jack Dorsey, was tagged in a number of responses to the tweet.

"How come this atrocious psychopath can openly call for the assassination of a former US president, and not be kicked out of Twitter?" one user wrote in English.

"Trump's banned but this is perfectly ok. Is this a joke?" another user wrote.

Twitter banned a tweet from the ayatollah's account - which is unverified but is generally considered to be associated with him - earlier this month that described coronavirus vaccines developed in the UK and the US as "untrustworthy".

COVID-19 Vaccines: Myth Versus Fact

Image
  Now that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has authorized vaccines for COVID-19, and their distribution has begun,  Lisa Maragakis, M.D., M.P.H. , senior director of infection prevention, and  Gabor Kelen, M.D. , director of the Johns Hopkins Office of Critical Event Preparedness and Response, review some common myths circulating about the vaccine and clear up confusion with reliable facts. MYTH: The COVID-19 vaccine can affect women’s fertility. FACT:  The COVID-19 vaccine will not affect fertility. The truth is that the COVID-19 vaccine encourages the body to create copies of the spike protein found on the coronavirus’s surface. This “teaches” the body’s immune system to fight the virus that has that specific spike protein on it. Confusion arose when a false report surfaced on social media, saying that the spike protein on this coronavirus was the same as another spike protein called syncitin-1 that is involved in the growth and attachment of the placenta dur...
