Protecting one's account is a clichéd issue, however, due to the recent Facebook risk control , some sensitive operations will lead to locked account, and after the account being locked, ususally the phone verification code is needed to unlock. And most people do not have access to receive the verification code. Therefore, how to stablize the modification of their own information to avoid the account theft is a problem that many people will encounter. In addition to this problem, the loss of BM due to the loss of durable number is also take place occasionally.
There are different scenarios for this. If it's simply loss, some repeated authorization can be helpful. However, if the Facebook personal account for media buyer is being stolen, the advertising money may loss.
This article will disscuss from three angles, one is how to stabilize the modification of one's profile to improve the stability of the account, the other us to protect your BM to avoide losing access to your account. The last one is to prevent advertisers from credit card fraud from their accounts through scripting programs.
How to stabilize the modification of your own information and protect your operation number
In the process of applying for APP, we want to register as a developer and it's necessary to verify the identity. The verification is different from the ID verification of individual user. In this case, you can choose to verify your email address or verify your credit card when binding it.
Developer registration address : https://developers.facebook.com/async/registration/dialog/?src=default
We can click Update Email to change the email address of the account on this page.
There are some accounts that will show a different interface:
This is the most common durable number, you will need to click "adding a credit card" below for verification. You can also directly visit the following address to bind your own card. https://secure.facebook.com/facebook_pay/?referrer=accounts_center
Enter your card information by clicking "Add Payment Method".
Please note that the card needs to be the one that you can keep for a long time. You can choose Adpos.io virtual credit card when binding the information, as we provide you with stable virtual credit card to facilitate you with every transaction.
Once the binding process is complete, you can update your mailbox in the Contact.info step. After updating, you can change your password as many times as you like. In case you are locked out, you can unlock your accout by using your card number if you have a card bound to it. (After the acocunt is locked, you can choose to unlock by card in the interface. You can also unlock the account by entering the full card information). You can also unlock the account by receiving an email verification code if you don't have a card.
Please note that there are some organizations will use this account to authorize APPs after selling Facebook personal account for media buyer or getting the access of your account, through which you can get a long-lasting Token, which can be used to publish ads with the authority and identity of your Durable Number directly. However, if you change the password of your durable number, the corresponding authorization of some APPs will be lost, and you need to get the authorization again. The best choice to get an account and change the password in time. However, some of the authorizations will not be lost, so after you change the password, you need to check the list of authorized APPs for your Durable Number and remove the unknown APP authorizations.
How to protect your BM
Let's first understand the permission system of BM. We can manage our BM in may ways, such as User with Everything permission, and System User with Admin permission.
Therefore, before we get a BM, we have to make sure all users and system users in our BM are clean. So we can make sure all the operations are completed by ourselves. Then, we need to cheack the complete People list of the BM to make sure the total number below is the same as the total number of people in youur current list. If it's different, for example, like in the picture below, where the list shows 7 and the total number of people is 8. This means that there is a hidden administrator in BM (there are various ways to make this hidden administrator). In this case you can remove the hidden administrator by using various plugins
Once the number of people on the list is exactly the same as the total number of people on the display, you can change the profile of the durable account by using the stabilized profile change method which ensures that all the users in the BM are logged in only by yourselves. After that you need to check if there is a System User in BM.
This is what a normal BM should look like, if you have a system user in your BM and the type is Admin, then you need to remove to the token that has been generated for that user (System User cannot be removed)
You need to click the Revoke Tokens button to remove all the tokens that are generated previously.
With the above, we can pretty much consider the homepage permissions to be clean. After that we can remove some of the administrators who are not in BM in the ads, and the administrators who are not in BM in the homepage. This way, the administrative permissions for the corresponding assets are absolutely clean.
Prevent advertisers from credit card fraud from their accounts through scripting programs
The above mentioned are some basic measures that can ensure that the asset is clean in terms of permissions after getting it. However, with the using time increased, it is impossible to say that there will be other problems, such as the optimizer encountered computer viruses or phishing and other problems, resulting in the permissions leaked again.
So we also need to work with other programs again to ensure that even our assets are being accessed by others , it will not result in the theft of advertising costs.
Here, we need to use the System User mentioned above, to create a simple script cost, as to determine whether the ads inside the ad account is published by us, or the final landing page of our ads is ours, to ensure that the ads run by the account will always be our own permission.
A simple example will be posted below, the technical team can be based on this example to create a local version of the ad account monitoring system, to ensure that the advertisers can always be under their own monitoring.
First of all, we need to create an APP. before creating it, we need to register our operation account as a developer. Once you have registered as a developer, you can create an APP in the Facebook APP back side.
Choose "Other"
Choose "Business"
Then fill in the APP name and email address, choose your own BM, and then you can create an APP.
Once the APP has been created, we add two items to the Products option.
Now that our APP has been created, we can go to BM to create System User and generate Token.
The process of creating a System User is relatively simple, just be careful to select the type as Admin.
After that, you can click Generate New Token to generate a token.
One thing to note is that the Ads management and Ads read permissions are checked, and the other permissions are left empty. Because this new APP doesn't have these permissions, it's useless to check them.
Click Generate Token, it will generate a Token, copy it and save it, this is the key Token you will use for scripting. This is the key token you will use to make scripts later. After you get the token, you can develop scripts.
The logic of script development
1.List all the ads under all the ad numbers under BM.
-
Check whether all the advertisement addresses are in the whitelist.
-
If the advertisement address is not in the whitelist, then close the series corresponding to this advertisement.
