As part of Facebook Protect, users who join these groups will soon see an option asking Facebook to enable the ‘Facebook Protect’ option. This program is designed to protect their accounts from cyber attacks and also requires that users enable Two Factor Authentication (2FA) for their accounts. After 2FA, OTP will be required through SMS or third party app to login the account. Facebook Protect also monitors their accounts for added security.

Facebook Protect is more than just turning on 2FA for one account. According to Nathaniel Gleicher, “There is more automated security that we do on the backend to protect these accounts. This is an additional detection mechanism that our systems and teams run. Accounts from this program are flagged within our systems.” So that our investigators see”.

He revealed that so far more than 1.5 million high risk Facebook accounts are taking advantage of this facility. Out of them, around 9,50,000 accounts have been enrolled for 2FA.
