Facebook has so many users worldwide making it a paradise for bad guys wanting to steal personal and financial information. Phishing is an attempt to steal personal information like account username and password or financial information through impersonation or spoofing. For example: a bad guy creates a fake Facebook login'look a like' website, when you enter login details trying to access your Facebook account, you login details are recorded (and stolen!).

How to detect Phishing attempts on Facebook

There are number of ways to secure Facebook account by following basic hygiene in the online world. However, spammers try to out-smart an average user with ever so "realistic looking" fake techniques for Phishing. Following are few common activities that indicate possible Phishing attempt.

1. Are you getting email messages with urgent requestsfor your address and financial information like bank account? Never share your personal and financial details online unless you are sure of website or person receiving it.

2. Is your Facebook account automatically postingspammy messages and links to your Facebook friends? In case of hacked Facebook account this is common as hacker is now trying to hack your friend's accounts by sending spammy messages.

4 Ways to Recover From a Crashed or Frozen X Server on Linux

The X server on Linux provides your graphical desktop. If it crashes, you'll lose all unsaved work in graphical programs, but you can recover from the crash and restart the X server without restarting your computer.

X server crashes can be caused by bugs with graphics drivers – the proprietary AMD or NVIDIA graphics drivers, for example – hardware problems, or other software bugs.

Ctrl+Alt+Backspace

The Ctrl+Alt+Backspace keyboard shortcut traditionally restarted the X server on Linux. However, after complaints – particularly from new Linux users that accidentally hit this key combination and lost all their work — this shortcut was disabled by default. To enable it on Ubuntu, Fedora, or any other distribution using a GNOME-based desktop, you can use the Keyboard Layout utility.

Click the Options button and enable the Control + Alt + Backspace check box under Key sequence to kill the X server.

After it's enabled, you can press Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to immediately restart your X server. However, this shortcut is implemented by the X server and may not work if X hangs in some ways.

Switch Virtual Consoles

You can use the Ctrl+Alt+F1 keyboard shortcut (and other F-key keyboard shortcuts) to switch to a different virtual console from your X server. (Ctrl+Alt+F7 usually takes you back to X – the exact F key depends on your Linux distribution.)

Once you have, you can log into the virtual console and run the appropriate command to restart your X server. The command you'll need depends on the display manager you're using. On Ubuntu, which uses the LightDM display manager, you'd use the following command:

sudo service lightdm restart

SSH Into Computer

If you can't kill the X server locally, you can kill it over the network. Assuming you have anSSH server set up and running on your Linux system, you can log in from another computer and run the appropriate command to restart the X server. Just sign in via SSH to access a remote console and use the appropriate command to restart your display manager – on Ubuntu, it's the sudo service lightdm restart command above.

Use the Magic SysRq Key

We've covered using the magic SysRq key in the past – the SysRq is is generally the same as the Print Screen key. Assuming you want to kill the X server locally – not over the network – your system may not be responding to key presses, including the Ctrl+Alt+F1 keyboard shortcut. This can occur because the X server has taken control of the keyboard. To take control away from the X server, use the following key combination:

Alt+SysRq+r

After you have, you can try pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 to access a virtual console. You can also use the Alt+SysRq+k combination, which kills all programs on your current virtual console, including your X server.

If you want to restart your computer, you can also use the magic SysRq key to cleanly restart your system – see our full post on the magic SysRq key for more information.
